At the United Nations
Addressing the General Assembly, the President says “the use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake,” and that US documents will use the word “super” instead.
The State Department makes it policy
Its international organizations bureau tells staff to “change all references of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ to ‘Super Intelligence’” and to write SI for AI. US diplomats use SI at a UN Security Council meeting on AI risk.
Lunch at the White House
Thirty-one tech leaders attend, co-hosted by Speaker Mike Johnson. Jensen Huang of NVIDIA sits at the President’s right, alongside Dario Amodei, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Lisa Su, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Alex Karp and Greg Brockman. The companies agree to a voluntary accord on regulating themselves.
The executive order
“This kind of innovation in government is just a preview of what is possible with super intelligence, or SI, and that’s the official name in the United States.”
That evening the President signs the executive order making super intelligence the official US name for AI, as reported by CNN.
