US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order requiring official agencies to use the term super intelligence instead of artificial intelligence.

New Terminology Era in Official Correspondence

President Donald Trump has issued a new executive order changing the name of artificial intelligence technology in official communication. Accordingly, all executive branches and government agencies will be required to use the expression super intelligence instead of the artificial intelligence abbreviation in their official correspondence.

Contradiction with Existing Definitions in the Sector

The tech sector uses the expression super intelligence for future advanced artificial intelligence systems that will surpass human cognition. The government mandating this term for current artificial intelligence technologies creates a situation that could lead to definitional confusion.

Global Competition and Regulatory Concerns

The decree is evaluated as a step aligned with the US goal of not losing leadership in the competition with China. Experts and academics, on the other hand, express concerns that this new official definition could complicate future regulations.
