Trump orders rebrand of AI to Super Intelligence as loyalty test
Original title: Here’s who is falling in line for Trump’s “Super Intelligence” loyalty test
Government agencies and Big Tech executives are adopting 'Super Intelligence' or SI as Trump rebrands AI under executive order, turning it into a political loyalty test.
President Trump signed an executive order rebranding artificial intelligence as 'Super Intelligence' or 'SI' in government agencies. The term now appears on solicitations and websites but has seen inconsistencies. Big Tech executives signed a nonbinding AI safety statement; only Zuckerberg and Musk used the new term consistently in earnings calls.
- EO requires new legislative definition of Super Intelligence by end of month
- Pentagon initiative used old terminology initially
- Musk pledged to rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI
- Wall Street Journal criticized for not using Super Intelligence
- Newsmax also resists the term
