What happened
Tom's Hardware reports that Trump has told federal agencies to use the term 'Super Intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence', with the headline framing it as the President saying AI has a branding problem. The supplied text contains only the headline and Tom's Hardware site navigation — no directive text, effective date, scope, affected agencies, or enforcement mechanism is present.
Why it matters
There is nothing actionable here for a builder: no procurement rule, labeling requirement, or compliance deadline appears in the text, so no decision about how you ship, document, or market AI features changes today. The only practical consequence would come if US federal agencies actually rename AI in their own documents and contracts — and that detail is not in this excerpt, so treat it as messaging until the underlying directive is published.
Discussion angle
If US federal paperwork genuinely shifts to 'Super Intelligence', would that change how vendors write proposals and compliance docs for government deals — and what specific text would you need to see before touching your own terminology?
