Trump Calls People Using ‘Artificial Intelligence’ ‘The Enemy’ as AI.gov Keeps the Term

President Donald Trump said Oct. 8 that people who use “Artificial Intelligence” instead of “Super Intelligence” are “THE ENEMY,” intensifying a terminology push that remains inconsistently applied across official government materials.

“The White House considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Trump signed Executive Order 14434, titled “Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence,” on Sept. 29. The order was published in the Federal Register on Oct. 2.

The directive instructs executive departments and agencies to use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents and other nonstatutory documents.

The order applies the new labels to technologies already covered by federal law’s definition of artificial intelligence. It also gives the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology 60 days to propose a federal definition of the new terms and possible changes to statutory references to “artificial intelligence” and “AI.”

The policy applies to the executive branch and does not impose a terminology requirement on private companies. It also excludes previously issued regulations, presidential actions, contracts, grants and historical documents.

AI.gov continues to say that the United States is competing for global dominance in “artificial intelligence” and repeatedly uses “AI.” The executive order itself also uses the original terminology in sections discussing the technology, creating an apparent inconsistency with its broader directive.

The administration has announced more than $5 billion for the Genesis Mission. The terminology change formalizes Trump’s earlier calls for government documents to use “Super Intelligence,” while leaving the existing statutory definition in place.

Within the deadline, the science and technology adviser must recommend how the terms should be defined and whether statutory language should be updated.
