On September 29, 2026, the White House published an executive order titled “Inaugurating The Era Of Super Intelligence.” The order states a policy: to the maximum extent permitted by law, the executive branch shall use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in place of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI,” and will not acknowledge “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in any applicable setting. Section 2 applies that switch to official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-statutory documents. The same section says nothing in it requires alteration of previously issued regulations, presidential actions, contracts, grants, or other historical documents.
Section 3 then narrows the vocabulary shift. For purposes of the order, “Super Intelligence” and “SI” mean the technologies and systems encompassed by “artificial intelligence” as defined in section 9401(3) of title 15, United States Code, unless a later presidential action or an act of Congress supersedes that definition. Within 60 days, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology shall propose legislative language, including whether a federal definition of “Super Intelligence” should modify the existing statutory definition. Readers can treat the spoken claim and the order text as related, not identical. The order covers executive-branch wording. It does not, on its face, amend the statute.
That same afternoon, President Donald Trump spoke with reporters after a White House luncheon with technology executives. A transcript posted by the Trump Archive quotes him: “We've changed the name officially today. We've changed the name, Steve, officially to SI. Okay? SI, like SI, SI instead of AI. You know what that means? Super Intelligence.” A separate write-up of the driveway video quotes a shorter line, paraphrased here: SI in place of AI. This desk did not attend. The clips below let a reader hear the remarks instead of taking a paraphrase.
CNBC reports a split between the microphone and the paper the executives signed. Trump suggested, in that account, that the technology leaders signed a document establishing the new name. CNBC says the accord shown on a Truth Social post carries the title “White House Accord on Super Intelligence” and does not itself declare a name change. CNBC names six executives on that post: Google’s Sundar Pichai, Tesla and SpaceX’s Elon Musk, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang. This desk did not inspect the Truth Social image. The Guardian describes the same luncheon as the setting for a “morally binding” industry agreement aimed at self-policing, which that report calls a “Joint Commitment On Frontier Responsibilities.”
The videos on this page come from the event, not from a generated anchor. The first player carries the CNBC-TV18 presser of those outdoor remarks. Trump speaks with technology executives standing with him, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The video description credits CNBC-TV18’s live stream and channel subscribe link, and those links sit under the player. USA TODAY posted “Trump press conference addresses AI 'accord' signed by tech leaders Amodei, Huang, Musk & Zuckerberg,” and the video’s own description credits a USA TODAY story. The White House channel posted “President Trump Delivers Remarks, Sep. 29, 2026” and “President Trump Participates in a Meeting and Luncheon on Super Intelligence.” CNBC Television posted “President Trump tells reporters he officially changed AI to SI.” Fox Business posted “JUST IN: Trump, AI leaders sign White House Accord on Superintelligence.” Each player below links through to the posting channel so a reader can watch there.
A later video desk, if this site grows into a channel beside the pages, would still need this habit: real footage of the event, a credit and a link for any agency clip, and generated pictures only where they do not pretend to show a moment the camera never caught. This story stops at the embeds. It does not add a synthetic anchor.
What remains open includes how far agencies actually change public websites, whether Congress takes up the 60-day definition proposal, and how far Trump’s spoken “officially changed” reaches past the executive branch. The order text and the videos do not settle those questions.
