Inaugurating The Era Of Super Intelligence

The order changes executive-branch terminology for AI without immediately changing its legal definition. It also begins work on legislation that could update federal law to use the new terms.

What the order does ​

• Requires executive departments and agencies to use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in official correspondence, websites, reports, policy documents, public communications, and other non-statutory materials.
• Keeps the existing statutory definition of artificial intelligence as the controlling definition for implementing the order.
• Directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to propose legislation establishing a federal definition of “Super Intelligence” and “SI” within 60 days.
• Requires the legislative proposal to assess changes to the existing AI definition, identify needed statutory amendments, and recommend further executive action.
• Leaves previously issued regulations, presidential actions, contracts, grants, and historical documents unchanged.

Who it affects ​

• Executive departments and agencies producing official documents and public communications.
• Federal officials developing technology policy and proposed legislation.
• Businesses, researchers, contractors, grantees, and members of the public who use federal AI-related materials.
