The U.S. government is moving to prohibit the use of the term "artificial intelligence" and replace it with "superintelligence" across official communications. The shift stems from an assessment that the word "artificial" is imprecise and misleads the public by suggesting the technology is fake or not genuine.
While no implementation date has been set and specifics remain unclear, the government intends the change to apply to all "relevant documents." This would encompass official materials and communications related to technology. The measure reflects growing concern over how AI terminology shapes public perception and policy discussions around these increasingly powerful systems.
