A New Name, a New Platform, and a Voluntary Industry Accord on What You Used to Call AI

On September 29, 2026, President Donald Trump took three significant steps shaping how the federal government will use, refer to, and oversee artificial intelligence (AI)—including a voluntary accord with six of the country's largest AI companies that signals the Administration's preference for industry self-governance over federal regulation. The three actions were:

  1. An Executive Order (EO) directing the executive branch to stop using the term "Artificial Intelligence" and replace it with "Super Intelligence" (SI) in all official communications going forward;
  2. An EO directing the General Services Administration (GSA) to establish America.gov as a single digital front door through which Americans can access federal government services online; and
  3. A White House Accord on Super Intelligence, a voluntary commitment signed by the President and the chief executives of six major AI companies establishing four layers of internal controls and audits for frontier AI development (the most powerful, cutting-edge AI systems).

Together, the three actions mark the Administration's most public-facing AI moves to date: a terminology change that rebrands the technology for every American who interacts with the federal government, a platform that puts SI-powered federal services directly in the hands of ordinary citizens, and an industry accord that reaffirms voluntary self-governance as the Administration's answer to calls for federal AI regulation.
