President Donald Trump’s push to replace "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" has drawn mockery and little apparent change in how major technology companies describe their products.
Greene, Thomas Massie Mock Trump’s AI Demand
On Thursday, Trump took to Truth Social and said that the White House considers anyone using the term "Artificial Intelligence" instead of "Super Intelligence" an "enemy."
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) shared his post on X, responding with just two words: "Artificial Intelligence."
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) also weighed in, joking on X that "Artificial Intelligence is a term historically reserved for politicians."
Trump Orders Federal Agencies to Replace AI With SI
Trump’s Sept. 29 executive order, titled "Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence," instructs federal agencies to replace "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI" with "Super Intelligence" and "SI" in official communications, websites, reports and other non-statutory documents.
The president has also established a Super Intelligence Force, led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, to coordinate federal efforts to ensure the U.S. maintains its leadership in the technology.
OpenAI, Anthropic Still Use Artificial Intelligence
Despite a White House luncheon attended by major technology executives, including Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) CEO Sundar Pichai and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang, the industry has yet to broadly adopt Trump’s preferred terminology.
The executives signed a nonbinding safety accord, but their companies continue to use "artificial intelligence" and "AI" in recent public communications.
OpenAI and Anthropic have also continued using the established terminology in their latest blog posts.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) XAI division, however, has confirmed plans to rebrand as SpaceXSI. Elon Musk announced the change on X, following the White House’s push for the new terminology.
However, SpaceX has also continued to use "AI" in its latest blog post.
Trump’s Super Intelligence Push Sparks Domain Boom
The debate has also coincided with a surge in registrations of Slovenian internet domains ending in ".si," according to the BBC.
Registry SI spokesperson Klara Herman said 44,000 ".si" websites were registered in September, a 2,199% increase from August.
