Regulation2026-09-29

The White House ordered federal agencies to replace 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' with 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI'. The change applies to official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, and policy documents. It does not require altering existing regulations, contracts, or historical documents. The order defines 'Super Intelligence' as the technologies covered by the existing statutory definition of 'AI'. The Assistant to the President for Science and Technology must propose new legislative language for a federal definition within 60 days. The proposal must assess whether the new definition should modify or supersede the existing statutory definition. It must also include conforming amendments to existing statutory references. The order does not create any enforceable right or benefit. It takes effect immediately and is implemented consistent with applicable law.
