Justice Department tells staff to say "super intelligence" instead of "AI," even in court
A small directive that shows how the administration is reframing AI.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter told Justice Department employees to use "super intelligence" and "SI" instead of "artificial intelligence" and "AI" "to the maximum extent permitted by law" in public communications, policy documents and other official records, and in court filings "when appropriate," according to a memo seen by Reuters and Bloomberg Law. It follows President Trump's September 29 executive order requiring the switch across federal agencies, which says government terminology "should reflect the transformative capabilities" of the technology.
