US President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will refer to artificial intelligence as “Super Intelligence” in official US government documents.
Trump made the announcement on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, during his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
According to reports, Trump argued that the word “artificial” does not properly describe the technology, saying he considers the new term a more appropriate description of its capabilities.
The announcement followed Trump’s earlier call for a new name for artificial intelligence. In a post before his UN address, he had floated alternative terms including “Super Intelligence” and “Superior Intelligence”.
Trump also used his UN speech to defend
the continued development of advanced AI, arguing that the United States should maintain its lead in the technology and avoid measures that could unnecessarily slow its growth.He said the technology could have an impact comparable to, or greater than, major technological transformations such as the Industrial Revolution.
The announcement does not mean that “artificial intelligence” has been globally renamed. It refers specifically to the terminology Trump said would be adopted in US government documents.
The development has drawn attention because “superintelligence” is also an established term in AI discussions, generally referring to a hypothetical form of intelligence that would surpass human capabilities across a wide range of tasks.
