Trump orders the federal government to call AI “super intelligence”
On 29 September 2026, the same day as the White House AI pact, President Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. government to prefer the terms “super intelligence” and “SI” over “artificial intelligence.” Euronews and The Verge report his rationale: “artificial” sounds bad and “super is the best word of all.” The naming shift arrives with the Joint Commitment and reframes the regulatory debate.
