The order came after a White House summit with technology executives, according to Fox Business. It tells federal agencies to use "Super Intelligence" and "SI" across correspondence, websites, reports and other non-statutory documents going forward.

The order also instructs agencies to stop using "artificial intelligence" and "AI" altogether. The White House says agencies should "no longer acknowledge" those terms in public-facing materials. Tech executives at the summit reportedly signed a separate agreement tied to the "SI" rebrand, though details on what that accord requires from private companies weren't spelled out in the order itself.

It's unclear whether the change extends beyond executive branch materials, or whether it affects how private companies, universities or state governments refer to the technology in their own work. The order applies specifically to non-statutory materials. Laws already on the books that reference "artificial intelligence" stay as written.

So the technology itself doesn't change. Only what Washington calls it does, at least on paper.
