Trump orders US government to call AI ‘Super Intelligence’

President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring US executive branch websites, policy documents, and press releases to use “Super Intelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence.” At an America.gov launch event, Trump said the term better reflects the technology’s power and claimed Chinese President Xi Jinping supported the phrasing.

The move highlights how political branding is increasingly shaping government language around emerging technologies. If implemented broadly, the terminology shift could create confusion across policy, procurement, and international AI discussions while signaling a more theatrical approach to AI governance.
