💼 Super Intelligence becomes a loyalty test in the US
On September 29, 2026, Executive Order 14434 mandated US agencies to use Super Intelligence (SI) instead of AI in official documents. The transition has been uneven: the Pentagon used the old term in the Meridian project, the FTC writes superintelligence in lowercase, and HHS has not changed its wording. On October 27, Trump criticized the WSJ for refusing to use SI. Of the six signatories to the White House Accord on Q3 2026 calls, only Zuckerberg and Musk used the term.
🌍 The terminology shift has become a loyalty check: it polarizes the AI debate, while fragmented adoption by agencies creates costs and confusion in documents and procurement.
👤 Those following US AI policy should track whether SI becomes a standard or a marker of loyalty — this will determine regulation and investment.
