Should the federal government replace the term “Artificial Intelligence” with “Super Intelligence” in official communications?
On September 29, 2026, the President signed Executive Order 14434, “Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence” (91 FR 63129, published October 2, 2026). The order directs executive branch agencies to use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory documents, to the extent permitted by law. It states that the executive branch will not acknowledge the use of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting. The order does not require changes to previously issued regulations, Presidential actions, contracts, grants, or other historical documents. For now, “Super Intelligence” is defined as the same technologies covered by the existing statutory definition of “artificial intelligence” (15 U.S.C. 9401(3)). Within 60 days, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology must propose legislative language for a new federal definition. That proposal must assess whether the new definition should change or replace the current one, suggest conforming amendments to existing law, and recommend further executive actions. The order creates no new legal rights and is to be carried out consistent with applicable law and available appropriations.
