US President Signs Executive Order to Rename Artificial Intelligence as ‘Super Intelligence’
In the United States, the president signed an executive order directing the government to refer to Artificial Intelligence (AI) as 'Super Intelligence'.
Baltimore, MD, September 29, 2026 — In a recent development, the President of the United States has signed an executive order that mandates a new terminology for Artificial Intelligence (AI) within government operations. The directive instructs federal agencies to refer to Artificial Intelligence exclusively as ‘Super Intelligence’.
The executive order, the specifics of which were not detailed in the summary provided, directs the federal government’s approach to the terminology used when discussing and referencing the technology. The shift from the commonly used term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to ‘Super Intelligence’ is the core mandate of this new directive.
The rationale behind this reclassification and the potential implications for governmental discourse, policy development, or public understanding were not specified in the available information. The summary does not indicate when the executive order was signed or by which specific departments it is to be implemented first. The contractor’s name was not provided, nor were any specific amounts, dates, timelines, locations, causes, permit statuses, inspection outcomes, code violations, or fine amounts mentioned.
This rebranding aims to standardize how the federal government internally refers to AI technologies. The term ‘Super Intelligence’ suggests a categorization that may imply advanced capabilities or a distinct level of cognitive function compared to current understandings of AI. Further details regarding the order’s scope, enforcement, or any potential impact on external communications and the public sector’s engagement with AI were not immediately available.
The directive focuses solely on the internal governmental nomenclature. The summary provided does not contain information about how this change will be communicated to the public or if it extends beyond federal agencies. The executive order’s effective date and any associated implementation timelines are also not specified. The long-term effects or objectives of this terminology change remain to be seen, as the provided information is limited to the directive itself.
