U.S. President Donald Trump posted that the term "artificial intelligence" is inaccurate and not elegant enough, suggesting that more elegant terms should be superintelligence, extreme intelligence, or supreme intelligence, and initiated a vote on this "revolution." The options are abbreviated as SI, EI, and SI, with super and supreme sharing the same abbreviation.

The vote appeared on Truth Social and reposting platforms, coinciding with the same-day announcement of forming an artificial intelligence task force, appointing a czar, and labeling security slowdowns as scams. He did not specify whether the renaming would enter legal, standard, or government procurement texts. As of the deadline, Truth Social showed tens of thousands of votes with one day remaining; reports indicated that "superintelligence" briefly led by about 39% on another platform. The abbreviation overlap means that even if the vote results differ, two SI could still appear in documents. The industry and regulatory texts have used "artificial intelligence" for decades, and the original term is also used in laboratory petitions to slow down. The renaming itself does not change model capabilities, electricity costs, or export controls, only changing news headlines and political slogans.

Who is buying, who is selling: what is being bought is the mobilization power to write technology as "supreme," and what is being sold is the semantics of "artificial, thus subject to restrictions." The event is driven by presidential voting, and funding does not shift with the three options. Beneficiaries are officials who want to write growth as a national revolution narrative, while those under pressure are laboratories still writing security papers using the original term. The name first becomes a slogan, and then the structure and czar fill in the blanks.

The vote has no legal effect; it remains unclear whether government procurement and paper titles will change with the renaming, as no executive orders have been seen.
