Official source whitehouse.gov order text

According to a September 29, 2026 executive order on whitehouse.gov, the order directs executive departments and agencies, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory documents. An accompanying fact sheet restates that direction. This page does not evaluate that position.

The order states that nothing in it requires altering previously issued regulations, Presidential actions, contracts, grants, or other historical documents, and it asks the President’s science and technology assistant to propose a federal definition within 60 days.
