Inaugurating The Era Of Super Intelligence

Summary: This is the full executive order, signed September 29, 2026, formally replacing "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) with "Super Intelligence" (SI) in federal government usage — the order summarized via fact sheet in an earlier document. Rationale: States that modern AI capabilities "far exceed" what was originally envisioned by the term, arguing the technology now amplifies human creativity and achievement rather than simply imitating human intelligence, and that "Super Intelligence" better reflects this expanded scope. Implementation (Section 2): To the maximum extent legally permitted, agencies must use "Super Intelligence" and "SI" in official correspondence, communications, websites, reports, and policy documents, and avoid referencing "Artificial Intelligence" or "AI." Previously issued regulations, presidential actions, contracts, and historical documents are not required to be altered retroactively. Definitions (Section 3): For this order's purposes, "Super Intelligence" and "SI" are defined using the existing statutory definition of "artificial intelligence" found in 15 U.S.C. § 9401(3), pending further action. Within 60 days, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology must submit proposed legislative language establishing a formal federal definition of "Super Intelligence," including an assessment of how it should relate to the existing AI statutory definition, proposed conforming legislative amendments, and recommendations for further implementing actions. Standard provisions: Preserves existing agency authorities, must be implemented within legal/budgetary limits, creates no enforceable private rights, and assigns publication costs to the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
