Trump Orders Federal Agencies To Replace AI With Super Intelligence
The directive sets a 60-day deadline for proposed legislation defining “Super Intelligence” but provides no funding or private-sector mandates.
President Donald J. Trump’s Sept. 29 executive order tells federal agencies to use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” across most official communications.
The requirement covers agency correspondence, public websites, reports, policy documents and other materials, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Existing regulations, presidential actions, contracts, grants and historical documents do not have to be revised.
The order also gives the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology 60 days to submit proposed legislative language establishing a federal definition of “Super Intelligence.” Until then, the directive applies the existing statutory definition of artificial intelligence under 15 U.S.C. § 9401(3).
The policy does not allocate funding, order construction of computing infrastructure or impose requirements on private technology companies. Its implementation remains subject to existing law and available appropriations, and it creates no enforceable legal rights or benefits.
The 60-day deadline for the proposed legislation runs from Sept. 29.
