DOJ Officials Told Staff to Use ‘Superintelligence’ Instead of ‘AI’ in Official Communications

The shift in terminology, without any stated rationale, leaves the department's actual policy posture toward AI ambiguous. Because the directive governs official correspondence, it affects how DOJ staff frame the technology internally and externally, potentially shaping regulatory language other agencies may echo. Whether 'SI' becomes a durable term or a passing stylistic preference is the open question, and whether it signals a substantive change in enforcement or oversight priorities remains unclear from the directive alone.
