Justice Department Adopts ‘Super Intelligence’ for AI

The Justice Department has directed employees to use “super intelligence” or “SI” instead of “artificial intelligence” or “AI” in official communications, with the change extending to court filings when legally appropriate. The directive follows President Donald Trump’s September executive order instructing federal agencies to adopt the terminology, and officials have 60 days to propose a formal definition. The administration says the new wording reflects the expanding capabilities of advanced technology, while critics argue that renaming the technology does not address safety concerns and could create confusion in legal documents where evidence and existing law refer to AI.
