The White House signed an executive order on Sept 29, 2026, titled "Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence," announced by OSTP director Michael Kratsios.
- Key move: federal terminology and framing shift from "artificial intelligence" to "Super Intelligence," on the grounds that frontier systems now go beyond imitating or automating discrete tasks — they amplify human ingenuity and unlock new capabilities across science, medicine, and nearly every domain.
- Stance: the order reasserts US leadership, noting AI was born in America and that US companies and research institutions will keep pushing the frontier.
It's the first time "super intelligence" appears in US executive-branch policy language at this level.
