A September 29 executive order directs executive departments and agencies, to the extent permitted by law, to use “Super Intelligence” or “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory materials.
A terminology directive and a 60-day task
The order also directs agencies to submit proposed legislative language within 60 days for a federal statutory definition of artificial intelligence. The deadline is for a proposal; the order itself does not enact a new statutory definition.
The directive applies to federal executive-branch communications. It does not impose new requirements on private companies or establish a technical threshold separating AI from “super intelligence.”
