President Donald Trump has signed an executive order officially renaming artificial intelligence to “Super Intelligence,” incorporating the new terminology into government documentation. The administrative action coincides with rising public fears regarding the development of the technology and concurrent polling data showing the president sinking on key issues.
The White House Accord on Super Intelligence
Alongside the executive order, President Trump released an agreement with technology chief executive officers focused on the self-regulation of the technology. The accord addresses industry oversight amid differing stances among prominent tech leaders. According to the details of the agreement, executives such as Zuckerberg and Huang have opposed such regulations, while other participating CEOs have expressed support for them.
Under the terms of the newly released White House accord, participating companies commit to partnering with an independent external auditor or evaluator. This partnership is designed to carry out independent assessments confirming whether internal controls, monitoring systems, and detection mechanisms are operating as intended. The accord emphasizes that implementing these controls and audits is critical to securing a safe future for everyone, regardless of whether such measures are strictly required of companies.
