TREE NEWS update: California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order requiring state agencies and departments under his authority to continue using the terms “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI,” unless otherwise required by law. The move follows President Trump’s September 29 executive order directing federal agencies to replace “AI” with “Super Intelligence” (SI) in official communications, websites and reports. The federal directive applies only to the federal executive branch and does not alter existing statutes or contracts.
California’s Newsom Orders State Agencies to Keep Using ‘AI’ Term
AI take
This is a state-federal divergence over naming rather than a substantive regulatory split: Newsom's order binds only agencies under his authority and changes no statutes or contracts, so the practical effect is limited to internal communications and public-facing language. The real signal is that terminology is now a live arena for asserting jurisdiction, and the next test is whether other states follow California's lead or defer to the federal framing.
