United States President Donald Trump has signed an executive order formally replacing the widely recognized terminology of artificial intelligence with a new designation, super intelligence. The official decree requires all federal government agencies to transition their official communications, documentation, and public messaging to reflect the updated phrase.
The announcement took place at a White House gathering that brought together prominent executives from the technology sector. During the event, the administration highlighted the rapid evolution of modern computing capabilities and the need for governmental vocabulary to keep pace with industry advancements. Observers at the meeting noted that the administration views the capabilities of advanced computing systems as a transformative force exceeding past technological revolutions.
Government officials indicated that this executive action is only the initial phase of a broader regulatory and statutory overhaul. A formal legal definition of super intelligence is currently being formulated and is anticipated to be submitted to Congress for consideration in the near future. This legislative push aims to establish a unified federal standard for advanced computational systems as lawmakers debate national technology policies.
The decision marks a distinct departure from decades of established nomenclature used by computer scientists, academics, and international regulators. The phrase artificial intelligence has been the standard global descriptor since the field's inception at the Dartmouth workshop in the mid-twentieth century. By shifting the official lexicon, the administration seeks to emphasize the unprecedented scale and autonomy of modern digital systems.
Tech industry leaders participating in the discussions offered varied perspectives on the mandated terminology shift. While some executives welcomed the focus on advanced computational potential, others noted that standardizing new definitions across global markets could present compliance challenges. International partners and standards organizations will now observe how the federal government applies this new terminology in upcoming policy frameworks and defense strategies.
