Trump Signs Executive Order Renaming AI to SI and Launching America.gov
U.S. President Trump signed an executive order requiring executive departments and federal agencies to replace the term 'Artificial Intelligence' (AI) with 'Super Intelligence' (SI), while also introducing America.gov as an interactive web portal for government services. This order attempts to reframe government policy around advanced technology capabilities as transformative human augmentations rather than mere automation, while streamlining public access to fragmented U.S. federal services through a conversational AI platform. Under the mandate, executive branch agencies will refrain from recognizing the term 'AI' in official contexts to the maximum extent permitted by law, and America.gov plans to roll out features allowing citizens to renew passports and handle Medicare registrations directly on the platform.
## BACKGROUND
Traditionally, Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to systems that mimic human cognition to perform dedicated tasks, whereas Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) describes a hypothetical future system that vastly surpasses human intellect across virtually all domains. The executive order repurposes 'Super Intelligence' (SI) as an official policy framework term to emphasize the expanded capabilities of modern computing systems.
