President Donald Trump moved to replace “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence” in federal language, and one State Department bureau had already started using the new wording. A Polymarket contract tracked the chance of a formal renaming by Sept. 30 and by year-end, while later coverage said Trump signed an AI document and pressed the new term in federal agencies.

What it means

Federal employees, policy staff, and anyone following executive branch language would notice the shift in terminology right away, because one bureau was already using “super” wording and later a directive told agencies to replace “AI” with “Super Intelligence.” That changes how the term appears in day-to-day federal documents and communications, even before any broader legislation is written.
