U.S. President Donald Trump stated he will sign a document changing the term "artificial intelligence" to "super intelligence" in government language, arguing that "artificial" sounds fake, while the technology is not false. He mentioned he would sign it around 5 PM and that "we all agree on this."

This statement was reiterated to reporters after a meeting with tech leaders at the White House and the launch of america.gov. Last week, he announced at the United Nations General Assembly that U.S. documents will henceforth use "super intelligence" or "si," and he hopes other countries will follow suit; he also rejected any "globalist schemes" to control the technology, stating it should be encouraged rather than restrained, as it will be greater than the Industrial Revolution.

The State Department's Bureau of International Organizations has requested diplomats to use this terminology. A White House press release stated that the UN General Assembly will henceforth officially refer to it as "Super Intelligence." As of a few days after the UN General Assembly, a standalone renaming order has not yet appeared in the publicly available presidential executive order catalog; today's statement is a move to formalize the verbal agreement into a signing action.

In academic and industrial contexts, superintelligence refers to a form of intelligence that surpasses human capabilities, which is not the same meaning as the general term artificial intelligence in the industry. Xi Jinping did not adopt this new term in his public statements during his Washington visit; Trump claimed he mentioned the renaming to him and felt that Xi "seemed to like it." Attendees at the lunch included Dario Amodei, Jensen Huang, Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Alex Karp.

The renaming is linked to the notion of "never stifling": security advocates discussed issues of uncontrolled agents and delayed models at the table, while the official language changed the term from "artificial" to "super." The federal site america.gov was referred to by him as a preview of what si can do.

In market mechanisms, this is narrative pricing rather than product pricing: those buying do not expect regulation to impose hard ceilings under the name of "artificial intelligence risk," while those selling are providing the White House's vocabulary. Funding narratives continue to flow towards computing power and model expansion; beneficiaries are chip and platform companies that want to maintain export and construction pace, while those under pressure are those wanting to write international governance or domestic slowdown into texts. The event-driven aspect is the signing forecast after the UN General Assembly's tone-setting, not a new technical assessment.

The government document's terminology change will enter diplomatic notes, procurement texts, and departmental guidelines, making "si" the default label for the U.S. Official labels do not change model capabilities but alter the nouns that opponents must respond to in legislative hearings and international negotiations.
