    APST submits proposed legislative language to President for Federal definition of Super Intelligence/SI

Key directives

  • Executive branch agencies shall use 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' in place of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory documents
  • APST shall submit proposed legislative language to establish Federal definition of 'Super Intelligence' within 60 days
  • Proposed legislative language must include assessment of whether definition should modify/supersede existing statutory definition of artificial intelligence
  • Proposed legislative language must include conforming amendments to existing statutory references
  • Proposed legislative language must include recommendations for additional Presidential or executive action

Who is ordered

What to expect

Immediate

  • Terminology change directive takes effect for new documents and communications

Near term (90d)

  • APST must submit proposed legislative language to President by November 28, 2026

Long term

  • Potential statutory redefinition of AI/SI if Congress acts; possible conforming amendments across U.S. Code

Risks & tensions

  • Creates terminology inconsistency between executive branch and existing statute (15 U.S.C. 9401(3)) until legislative action occurs
  • Potential confusion in international engagement where 'AI' is globally standard term
  • Section 2(b) carve-out for existing regulations/contracts may create dual terminology environment indefinitely
  • Vague scope of 'other non-statutory documents' and 'applicable setting' in Section 1 creates implementation uncertainty
  • Proposed statutory redefinition could trigger extensive conforming amendments across federal code if pursued
