US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to use the terms 'super intelligence' and 'SI' instead of 'artificial intelligence' and 'AI' in official communications and non-legal documents.

Details of the Executive Order

US President Donald Trump took a new step by arguing that the term artificial intelligence, one of technology's best-known acronyms, is no longer fit for purpose.

With the signed executive order, federal agencies were asked to use the term super intelligence instead of artificial intelligence in official communications.

Political and Sectoral Reactions

This change has sparked various reactions and debates among technology leaders and politicians.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that state agencies will continue to use the term artificial intelligence.

Emphasis on Global Competition

The White House argued that border systems have gone beyond mimicking human intelligence and that the new term better reflects this capacity.

Trump sees technological leadership as a global race that the US cannot afford to lose to China.

Analysts' Assessments

Analysts state that this change is an effort at narrative control aimed at reinforcing American dominance.

Experts warn that this move could create confusion regarding standardization.
