A decision has been made in the United States to replace the term 'Artificial Intelligence' (AI) with 'Superintelligence' (SI) in government affairs. This step was formalized by an executive order issued by US President Donald Trump.
According to the new directive, US government agencies are required to use the word 'Superintelligence' instead of 'Artificial Intelligence' in their new communications. The new order is titled 'Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence.'
The reason for this change is that AI technologies are developing rapidly. Modern AI models are capable of not only answering questions or writing text but also coding, conducting research, and data analysis, which prompts America to promote the term 'Superintelligence' in its official lexicon.
The new procedure requires that government departments and agencies use SI or 'Superintelligence' on their websites, reports, public statements, and other new documents. However, old records, previously issued regulations, and existing contracts do not need to be changed.
It is important to note that in the field of technology, 'Superintelligence' usually refers to intelligence that surpasses human capabilities. However, within this American decree, it is currently used as the official government term for existing AI systems and technologies. The government plans to develop an official federal definition of 'Superintelligence' in the future.
Thus, the AI tools themselves, such as ChatGPT or other platforms, have not changed their names; the change concerns exclusively the language and official communication of the US government.
