Donald Trump said he would ban the term artificial intelligence from all relevant documents. Since a September order, federal agencies already have to write Super Intelligence instead, but private companies are not bound.

What happened?

On October 27, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he would ban the terms AI and artificial intelligence from all relevant documents (Forbes). The post builds on an existing order.

What is already in force?

Executive Order 14434 of September 29 requires executive branch agencies to use Super Intelligence or SI in official communications. The NIH, for example, has already renamed its topic page.

  • The order does not require editing existing regulations or contracts.
  • Michael Kratsios, the White House science policy chief, has 60 days to recommend a statutory definition.
  • It does not apply to private companies, the press or citizens. The AP Stylebook still uses AI.

What to keep in mind

If you work on federal grants, procurement or agency partnerships, official documents may already say SI instead of AI. Watch for both terms in search and compliance checks. Existing contract language does not change under the order.

Why it matters

At first it is only wording, but rewriting the statutory definition could affect what existing federal AI rules cover. There will be more to know after the 60-day deadline.
