US Justice Department Tells Staff to Use Superintelligence Instead of Artificial Intelligence
The US Department of Justice has announced a shift to using the term superintelligence instead of artificial intelligence in official correspondence and court filings, following an executive order by President Trump.
The US Department of Justice has ordered that the term superintelligence be used instead of artificial intelligence when referring to the technology, including in courts and official documents.
New Terminology Directive
In a recent directive issued to US Department of Justice personnel, staff were instructed to use the term superintelligence instead of artificial intelligence on technology-related matters.
Trump Executive Order
This decision follows an executive order issued last week by US President Donald Trump, which mandates this terminology change across federal agencies.
Areas of Application
Department employees will use the term in public communications, policy documents, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in other official records.
The published memo explicitly emphasized that the directive will also encompass court filings where appropriate.
