Overview
- The executive order, signed Tuesday, directs executive-branch agencies to use the term “Super Intelligence” or “SI” in non‑statutory communications and asks the White House science adviser to propose a legal definition within 60 days.
- At the same White House meeting CEOs from Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI and NVIDIA signed a voluntary 'White House Accord on Super Intelligence' that outlines four layers of company controls and independent audits for frontier models.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom issued an order rejecting the federal renaming and keeping the term 'Artificial Intelligence' for state use, highlighting immediate subnational resistance to the change.
- The announcement produced broad public ridicule, including media mockery of a misspelling on the posted document, and uneven industry uptake with executives publicly switching between 'AI' and 'SI'.
- Speculators responded by buying thousands of Slovenia’s '.si' domains after the president’s posts and UN remarks, driving a spike in registrations and many resale listings while raising resale-value hopes and benefiting Slovenia’s registry.
