USHERING IN SUPER INTELLIGENCE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to replace the term “Artificial Intelligence” (“AI”) with “Super Intelligence” (“SI”) in the executive branch to recognize the continuously advancing technological frontier and the limitless promise it offers the American people. The Order directs all departments and agencies to use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in official correspondence, public communications, policy documents, and non-statutory documents within the executive branch and to no longer acknowledge the terms “Artificial Intelligence” or “AI”.
The Order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) to propose a Federal definition of “Super Intelligence” and “SI” that reflects the state of this extraordinary frontier technology and identify any additional executive action necessary to implement the proposed definition. RECOGNIZING THE IMMENSE OPPORTUNITY OF SI : The United States is the world leader in Super Intelligence, and the Federal government should use a name that reflects the full promise and opportunity of these technologies.
The United States is the birthplace of Artificial Intelligence and is pushing this frontier forward, having led the world in its development and deployment for over 70 years since its inception as a field of research. The name Super Intelligence conveys the true capabilities of the technologies being developed today, unlocking new forms of human creativity and empowering Americans to achieve what was previously impossible—not simply imitating or automating human intelligence as is implied by the term “Artificial Intelligence.
” Using the name Super Intelligence will ensure departments and agencies remain focused on expanding the capabilities and applications of these technologies to empower Americans, strengthen our economy, and improve the lives of the American people.
