A new branding for AI within the U.S. government. In September 2026, the Trump administration ordered government agencies to use the term "super intelligence" instead of artificial intelligence. See
SI Force.
Considering that AI is written in documents and software millions of times, it is certain that SI will not replace AI universally. Not only that, the "super" term has already been used for the next version of AI; for example, see
Super AGI.
However, the term "artificial" has always been a peculiar branding for the technology because every device with a chip is considered "intelligent." The extraordinary capabilities of today's AI chatbots and agents are only artificially intelligent, yet your washing machine is entirely "intelligent." See
AGI.
