Why It Matters
The Trump administration has repeatedly emphasized the United States' leadership in the field of artificial intelligence. This executive order aims to highlight the substantive content of technological progress through the name change, rather than just simulating human intelligence.
Trump signed an executive order to rename artificial intelligence "Super Intelligence" (SI). (Bloomberg)
U.S. President Trump convened the world's most influential technology leaders at the White House on the 29th to hold talks on the development of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry. Trump signed an executive order immediately after the meeting, renaming artificial intelligence "Super Intelligence" (SI).
The executive order mentioned that the United States is the birthplace of artificial intelligence. Since the birth of artificial intelligence as a research field, it has led the world in its development and deployment for more than 70 years and continues to promote the sustainable development of this technology. The name "superintelligence" better conveys the true capabilities of the technology being developed today. These technologies are opening up entirely new forms of human creativity and giving Americans the ability to do things that were impossible in the past, rather than just imitating or automating human intelligence, as the name “artificial intelligence” implies.

The White House stated in the executive order announcement that this executive order directs all departments and agencies to use the terms "superintelligence" and "SI" in official correspondence, public communications, policy documents, and non-mandatory documents of the executive department, and no longer recognizes "artificial intelligence" or "AI".
The order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) to propose federal definitions of "superintelligence" and "SI" to reflect the current status of this extraordinary and cutting-edge technology, and to draft relevant legislation within 60 days to formally define "superintelligence" and its abbreviation "SI" in federal law.
