TREE NEWS update: President Donald Trump said the US will soon formally ban the term “AI/artificial intelligence” in all related documents and other contexts, calling the name inaccurate. In a statement, Trump questioned when The Wall Street Journal would adopt “superintelligence (SI)” instead, noting nearly everyone else is using or will soon use that term. He did not specify a timeline or which documents would be affected.
Trump Says US Will Ban Term ‘AI’ in All Related Documents
The absence of a timeline, scope or enforcement mechanism makes this more a signal of rhetorical direction than a policy event; the practical effect on federal procurement, disclosure or standards documents is undefined. The reference to "superintelligence" suggests the administration may be aligning official language with a specific framing of frontier capability, which matters for how agencies and contractors describe systems in filings. Whether the ban materializes in formal instruments, and which documents it reaches, is the open question.
