Excerpt of the executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/inaugurating-the-era-of-super-intelligence/ from last week:

The terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of these technologies and the limitless opportunities they create for the American people. Accordingly, the term “Super Intelligence” more appropriately captures the promise, potential, and rapidly advancing capabilities of these technologies. It is therefore the policy of my Administration that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the executive branch shall use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” and will not acknowledge the usage of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting.

    It’s a dog whistle strategy. They can’t wear swastikas openly anymore (well, most of them), so they’re using other means of identifying who’s an ally or a dissident.

    If you now start using SI instead of AI everyone knows you’re a trump fan. If it becomes widespread enough, then the opposite also becomes true: Saying AI instead of SI is enough to mark you as unwanted, enemy of the party.
