Why Trump is calling AI “Super Intelligence” 👀

Trump just ordered the U.S. government to stop using “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in most official documents and replace them with “Super Intelligence” and “SI.”

The White House says the terminology reflects how far frontier systems have advanced beyond simply “imitating” human intelligence. But the legal implications could be more interesting.

The U.S. already has a growing patchwork of state AI regulations. So could a new federal definition of “Super Intelligence” eventually become part of the battle over which rules apply?

The executive order does NOT currently exempt SI companies from state AI laws. In fact, for now, it explicitly defines “Super Intelligence” using the existing federal statutory definition of artificial intelligence.

However, the order also tells the administration to propose a new federal definition of SI within 60 days, including whether it should modify or replace the existing definition.

Trump is essentially askin…
