Properties

jurisdiction: US Federal
level: federal
domain: general
status: in-effect
scope: Executive order directing executive branch departments and agencies to use the terms Super Intelligence and SI in place of Artificial Intelligence and AI in official correspondence, public communications and policy documents, and tasking the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to propose a federal definition. Terminology and definitional order only; it creates no substantive AI compliance regime.
obligations: Federal executive departments and agencies must use the terms Super Intelligence and SI in place of Artificial Intelligence and AI in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports and policy documents, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The terms are defined by reference to the artificial intelligence definition in 15 U.S.C. 9401(3) until superseded. The Assistant to the President for Science and Technology must submit proposed legislative language for a formal federal definition within 60 days. The order does not require altering previously issued regulations, Presidential actions, contracts, grants or other historical documents. No obligations on private parties were found.
enactedDate: 2026-09-29
appliesTo: Federal executive branch departments and agencies (directly); no direct obligations on private entities identified

notes: Signed 2026-09-29, published in the Federal Register 2026-10-02 as Document 2026-20321, 91 FR 63129, EO number 14434 (confirmed through the Federal Register JSON API; the 60-day deadline and section text were read through a summarizer of the Federal Register XML, not as raw text). Borderline for this catalogue: it is AI-named and AI-defined and legally binds agencies, in line with the other tracked agency-directed orders eo-14365 and eo-14409, but it is a terminology and definition order that creates no substantive AI compliance regime, so treat it as context rather than a compliance obligation. Effective date left null because no effective-date clause was read verbatim. Distinct from eo-14409-ai-innovation-security and eo-14365-national-ai-policy-framework.
