Here’s who is falling in line for Trump’s “Super Intelligence” loyalty test
President Trump issued an executive order directing government agencies to rebrand artificial intelligence as "Super Intelligence" rather than AI, framing the change as reflecting that modern systems amplify rather than imitate human ingenuity. Critics note this follows a pattern of administration rebranding efforts used as loyalty tests: organizations adopting the new terminology signal allegiance while those who don't face potential retaliation, as seen when the Trump administration restricted AP access to White House events for not adopting "Gulf of America."
Key points
- Executive order rebrand AI systems as "Super Intelligence"
- Stated rationale: systems amplify rather than imitate intelligence
