As of October 2026, the United States has shifted its policy approach following an executive order titled ‘Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence’. President Donald Trump established the Super Intelligence Force (SIF), a federal task force designed to coordinate U.S. policy and maintain global leadership in advanced artificial intelligence. Trump described the technology as having an impact potentially greater than the Industrial Revolution or the internet. The SIF is led by a four-member team consisting of Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon CTO Emil Michael, and OPM Director Scott Kupor. Reporting to President Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, the task force is mandated to coordinate engagement between the federal government and stakeholders such as consumers, religious organizations, and critical infrastructure providers. The group is expected to deliver a report within 120 days regarding the risks and opportunities of these technologies, including cybersecurity threats like hacks and model jailbreaks. As part of this strategic shift, an executive order requires replacing the terms ‘Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘AI’ with ‘Super Intelligence’ and ‘SI’ in all official federal communications. The administration argues that the term ‘Artificial’ implies something fake, whereas ‘Super Intelligence’ is a more accurate description of the technology’s capabilities. Following this order, the White House updated its official website from AI.gov to SI.gov, and the State Department instructed diplomats to adopt the new terminology. On September 29, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14434, formalizing this mandate for all federal agencies. This directive necessitates significant rebranding for agencies such as NASA, affecting internal documentation, public outreach, and international diplomacy. President Trump has intensified this stance, declaring that the White House considers anyone using the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ instead of ‘Super Intelligence’ to be an ‘enemy.’ In the private sector, Elon Musk announced that his company, xAI, will be renamed xSI. Trump has characterized the shift as a matter of geopolitical and commercial strategy, stating, ‘Whoever wins SI, wins the competition.’
