“AI” becomes “Super Intelligence”
A US executive order directs federal agencies to use “Super Intelligence (SI)” instead of “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” in non-statutory communications. The relabel applies to the existing legal definition of AI, not to the research meaning of superintelligence.
“It's not artificial.”
Note on the date: Verify the order text in the Federal Register.
