Trump proposes replacement of 'ai' with 'super intelligence' in government documents

On October 28, 2026, it was reported that U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to formally ban the use of the term 'artificial intelligence (AI)' in all official documents and other contexts, replacing it with 'super intelligence (SI)'. The move, which was announced on his social media platform 'Truth Social', is based on the claim that the term 'AI' is 'inaccurate'. Trump criticized The Wall Street Journal for continuing to use the term, calling it 'very bad and inaccurate'. According to reports, Trump signed an executive order on September 29, 2026, directing federal agencies to use 'super intelligence' instead of 'AI'. The order stated that the technology developed by American innovators surpasses the initial understanding of 'AI', and that these systems now represent a new era of 'super intelligence'. The order also instructed the Department of Justice to use 'super intelligence' in most contexts, including legal documents, starting from October 7, 2026.
