   The Download: Data from failed startups is being sold to AI labs, and cross-species communication

   MIT Tech Review's The Download notes that firms that help shut down startups are selling the codebases and workspace data of failed companies to AI labs, with Keelan Miskell using this to sell companies' digital archives for tens of thousands of dollars. As training labs hit the limits of public and synthetic datasets, buyers are turning to real-world records to train AI agents, and such deals are also sparking legal and ethical controversy. This issue also looks at AI-assisted cross-species communication research, and the US and China racing to build lunar bases.

   Trump requires government documents to drop "AI" in favor of "SI," and singles out The Wall Street Journal for criticism

   Trump signed an executive order requiring U.S. federal government executive branch agencies to replace "artificial intelligence (AI)" with "superintelligence (SI)" in all applicable contexts, and specifically called on The Wall Street Journal to stop using "AI." Musk expressed support; his xAI division has been renamed "SpaceX Super Intelligence" and "SpaceXSI," though its official website domain remains x.ai; major AI companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI continue to use the term "AI."

   Trump says he will formally ban the term AI in relevant documents, renaming it SI Superintelligence

   Trump posted on Truth Social on the 27th, saying that he will soon formally prohibit the use of the term artificial intelligence (AI) in all relevant documents and other occasions, on the grounds that the expression is inaccurate, but did not explain how the ban would be implemented. Previously, on September 29, he signed an executive order requiring all executive departments and agencies to replace AI with superintelligence (SI); Reuters reported on October 7 that the U.S. Department of Justice had issued instructions to internal staff to use superintelligence in the vast majority of occasions, including court documents.

   Trump unhappy with media for continuing to use "AI"; federal government has already switched to "Super Intelligence"

   On Truth Social, Trump criticized media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal for still using "AI," while his administration signed an executive order weeks ago requiring federal agencies to use "Super Intelligence" or the abbreviation "SI" in official documents. The White House says advanced intelligent systems have outgrown the scope described when the term "artificial intelligence" was coined, but major AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic continue to use "AI" and have shown no plans to rename it.

   Trump Says He Will Ban the Term "Artificial Intelligence" and Require It Be Called "Superintelligence"

   Trump said he will soon ban the term "artificial intelligence" in relevant documents and other settings and switch to "superintelligence" (SI), but did not specify the exact scope or implementation method of the ban. The executive order released by the White House on September 29 has already required U.S. federal executive departments and agencies to replace "artificial intelligence" and "AI" with "superintelligence" and "SI" in official correspondence, websites, reports, and other non-legal documents; historical documents need not be modified; and it requires the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to submit proposed legislative text within 60 days to establish a federal definition for superintelligence and SI.
