From AI to Super Intelligence: Trump’s new American AI Agenda | In Focus podcast
U.S. President Donald Trump has initiated a project to rebrand artificial intelligence as 'Super Intelligence' (SI) and established a 'morally binding' AI Accord with major tech CEOs. The move includes the creation of a Super Intelligence Force (SIF) task force to oversee the industry.
Why it matters
This represents a significant shift in U.S. federal policy toward AI regulation and branding, signaling increased government intervention in the tech sector.
On September 29, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted the country’s top technology business leaders as he embarked on a project to rename artificial intelligence (AI) as “Super Intelligence” and “SI”.
There, he announced the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, which was signed by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, XAI CEO Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and OpenAI President Greg Brockman. The AI Accord that they signed is “morally binding”, per Mr. Trump.
The Big Tech leaders, known for their liberal, centrist, or even neutral political stances, stood smiling, flanking the President, sharing press-ready messages about balancing AI risks and regulations.
But the newly formed Super Intelligence Force (SIF) task force indicates that the federal government is not planning to remain a mere bystander as AI giants try to police themselves.
