Understand this story
On September 30, 2026, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order requiring that official policy websites, policy documents, and press releases of the U.S. federal government use only the term "Super Intelligence" from now on, and no longer recognize the term "artificial intelligence." Administrative agencies do not need to revise past regulations or documents, but officials in relevant settings are required to no longer mention "artificial intelligence" or "AI." Reports say Trump signed the order after having lunch at the White House with tech company CEOs and government officials, calling the lunch very productive and saying the industry should have substantial self-regulation, while the Department of Justice and the FBI, among others, constitute oversight. Other reports say that on the same day the White House met with executives from multiple tech companies, with the event named the "Super Intelligence Meeting and Luncheon," attended by Jensen Huang, Musk, Nadella, Amodei, Zuckerberg, and others, at which an AI ethics constraint agreement was signed. On October 10, 2026, Jeff Bezos said he prefers to call the technology "super intelligence" rather than "artificial intelligence."

Trump Replaces "Artificial Intelligence" with "Superintelligence," but the Three Paradoxes of AI Development Remain Hard to Conceal
The Trump administration has required federal documents to replace "Artificial Intelligence (AI)" with "Superintelligence (SI)," and plans to propose its federal legal definition within 60 days. The article uses this to point out that AI development faces the productivity paradox, the Polanyi paradox, and the innovation paradox: the ICT industry has expanded rapidly yet has not driven efficiency gains in other industries; AI can only replace codifiable routine tasks; and the automation path led by tech giants neglects the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and developing countries. The author advocates promoting the "democratization of innovation" through open-source models, shared platforms, and public funding, and argues that China's "AI+" initiative, which promotes the integration of AI with six key fields, has demonstrative significance.
