Trump says White House sees "Artificial Intelligence" term users as "THE ENEMY" in terminology push
“The White House considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!”
Reported October 10, 2026 by businessinsider.com. Checked word for word against that report.
In late September the administration issued an order directing federal bodies to replace the label “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence” in their official materials, arguing that the newer phrase better reflects the capabilities of modern systems. President Trump reinforced this push on his social platform, warning that using the older label could be seen as hostile. Following the directive, Salesforce chief Marc Benioff announced that the company’s AIForce suite will be rebranded as SIForce, and Elon Musk indicated a similar change for SpaceXAI. While private firms are not compelled to adopt the terminology, several high‑profile executives have begun to adjust branding, prompting discussion about what qualifies as “super intelligence.” Companies such as OpenAI and others declined to comment.
