Super Intelligence, explained.
On September 29, 2026, the U.S. government renamed AI "Super Intelligence" (SI). Here's what changed, what didn't, and what it means for you.
What does SI stand for?
SI stands for Super Intelligence, the name the U.S. federal government has used for artificial intelligence since President Trump signed Executive Order 14434 on September 29, 2026. It is a new name, not a new technology: legally, SI covers exactly what AI did. It is also not the same as superintelligence, a hypothetical system far smarter than humans.
