U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social Oct 27, 2026 that he will ban “artificial intelligence” in all relevant documents.
Critics say the ban ignores expert AI safety warnings and follows a poll showing only 23% approval of Trump’s AI policy.
Jacob Coxon, former Anthropic employee, warned AI could kill humanity by decade’s end.
Trump accused The Wall Street Journal’s AI newsletter of resisting the new “super intelligence” terminology.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Oct 27, 2026 that federal documents will no longer use the term “artificial intelligence.”
Legal experts note the executive order’s reach is limited to government speech and cannot compel private companies, media or individuals to adopt the new terminology.
The Sept 29, 2026 order directs agencies to replace “Artificial Intelligence” with “Super Intelligence” and the abbreviation “SI.”

History

Congress renamed the 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act on Oct 30, 1990, directing the Department of Education to replace “handicapped” with “students with disabilities.” President George H.W. Bush signed that reauthorization, and President Donald Trump’s Oct 27, 2026 executive order similarly mandates new terminology for “Artificial Intelligence,” continuing a decades-long pattern of federal language control.
