Trump\u2019s AI has been renamed SI, which refers to the US administration\u2019s adjustment of official terminology.<\/strong>The White House issued an executive order on September 29, 2026, requiring, within the limits permitted by law, the replacement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Super Intelligence (SI). The order currently maintains the existing AI legal definition; this change in name cannot prove that a tool possesses intelligence beyond that of humans.View the original White House executive order<\/a>\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For companies that are evaluating AI, this news brings up two questions: how should SI be understood; and what criteria should be considered when selecting tools? In conclusion, the judgment is that the name can help in communication; procurement still needs to be based on the tools\u2019 ability to accomplish the task; and the users must be able to grasp the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is SI? Full English name, Chinese meaning, and definition of this name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SI discussed in this article is an abbreviation for Super Intelligence, which can be translated into Chinese as \"superintelligence\".<\/strong>In this White House naming policy, SI is the term used by the U.S. administration to replace AI (Artificial Intelligence). According toSection 3 of the Executive Order<\/a>Unless otherwise provided by law, SI currently refers to technologies and systems that fall within the AI definition of the U.S. Code; it is not a separate software, model, or subscription program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When understanding SI, it is important to distinguish between the name and the capabilities. This directive determines how government documents refer to AI; it does not provide test results for the individual tool that has surpassed human intelligence. ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) in the technical discussion is another concept that needs to be identified;IBM's conceptual definition<\/a>It describes hypothetical AI systems that surpass human intelligence. Therefore, when reading SI, one should first look at whether the article is discussing official terminology or technical capabilities, and then judge its relationship with the actual product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did Trump change the name of AI to SI? First, let's look at the timing of the incident and the official explanation.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On September 22, 2026, Trump used the term \"super intelligence\" when speaking at the United Nations General Assembly;Summary of speech released by the White House that day<\/a>This naming claim has been included. On September 29, the White House published the Executive Order \u201cInaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence,\u201d adjusting the terminology to be incorporated into the executive branch\u2019s enforcement requirements. The two dates correspond to the speech and the official order, and readers can check them together when reading the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House\u2019s reasoning in the order is that it hopes the name reflects technological progress and the potential to help humanity create and solve problems. This is the government\u2019s policy explanation for the naming. As for whether specific models can correctly answer questions or can safely operate corporate data, separate testing evidence is still required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI's renaming scope, to where does it end?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Problems that readers are prone to confuse<\/th>The scope of the original text can be confirmed<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Which documents need to be renamed to SI?<\/td>The order lists the administrative departments\u2019 official communications, external communications, websites, reports, policy documents, and other non-binding documents, subject to the legal provisions allowing for it.<\/td><\/tr>
Will the historical documents also have to be completely rewritten?<\/td>The order clearly states that no changes are required to the regulations, presidential executive measures, contracts, subsidies, and other historical documents that have already been issued.<\/td><\/tr>
Has SI had a completely new legal definition?<\/td>For the purposes of this order, the current scope of the AI definition under the U.S. Code requires that legislative text recommendations be submitted within 60 days.<\/td><\/tr>
Do all websites in Taiwan need to switch from AI to SI?<\/td>The executive order lists targets for enforcement; it cannot be inferred from it that all global corporate websites must be renamed.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Based on the aboveSections 2 and 3 of the Executive Order<\/a>Organize. If the business involves U.S. government procurement or specific contracts, the documents related to the case should still be reviewed and the subsequent requirements. The name change on the brand's official website can be decided based on whether the reader understands it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference between SI, AI, and ASI: Their names and capabilities should be considered separately.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence; the SI used in this command is Super Intelligence. The implications of both of these terms in the command are related, so you shouldn\u2019t assume that SI is a completely new model or that you need to purchase it separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another technical discussion is ASI, or Artificial Superintelligence.IBM's ASI concept explained<\/a>Describing it as a hypothetical AI system that exceeds the intelligence of humans. When reading this news, it is important to distinguish between the \"name used in the executive order\" and the \"capabilities described by the technical concept.\" The same four words \"superintelligence\" also need to be understood in the context of what the author is talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if a supplier changes the name of a copywriter assistant to SI Assistant, the company should still verify that it can refer to the correct product information, that it can allow people to modify the output, and how to handle errors. The name alone is not sufficient to answer these questions. This is the advice in this article regarding procurement, and not the White House providing capability certification for any product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When companies face the new names of AI\/SI, they can first make three judgments.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let's figure out which task we need to solve first.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Instead of saying \"we need to introduce SI,\" change it to a verifiable requirement, such as helping to organize the initial draft of the service introduction, or shortening the steps for repeatedly entering the same data. If the requirement extends across more than one department, you can start by followingGuidelines for Enterprise AI Deployment<\/a>List the scenes to avoid replacing the entire set of tools just because of a new name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, the responsibility for retaining data, permissions, and manual confirmation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Who provides the data, which data can be used, who is responsible for verifying the output, and who has the right to make the results public\u2014all of these should be agreed upon first. These responsibilities will not disappear just because the tool is renamed to SI. You can refer toData and permission list before AI deployment<\/a>Write down clearly the scope of the verification that needs to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three, using the same task comparison tool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose a task that is small in scope and allows you to verify the results. Let the candidate tool use the same data to compare accuracy, cost, and completion status. If you want to test website content, start with a service page; if you want to test department processes, you can follow theAI PoC selection method<\/a>Set up the verification method. Don't treat a nice presentation as the result of growth-stage operations in one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the news about AI\/SI, back to the website that customers really need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you call it AI or SI, you are our valued customers.<\/strong>What we care about is whether you can clearly explain the brand, whether you can modify the website in a way that is easy to understand, and whether the website can help visitors find the next step easily. This is also the design direction that Eng Hai places great emphasis on when applying technology to products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your needs are clearly to build a brand website, you can choose from the ready-made structure provided by the sub-site of the company, or the AI-powered mini-site wizard. You can then adjust it using the page editor, or create a custom page using the AI-powered Vibe canvas. You can choose from three paths based on your needs; you can read more here.Overview of the second-station feature<\/a>Confirm the current product features and applicable scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have decided to build your own website, the next step is to compare the second-site solution directly. Second-site plans are subscription-based, and the scope of the plan needs to be selected based on actual needs; this press release does not mean that Second-Site has been renamed SI, nor does it constitute a declaration that the product has reached ASI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is SI a new AI tool?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this Trump name change incident, SI is the term used in the executive order. Just by this name, it cannot be determined that it is another set of tools, nor can it be determined that it has greater capabilities than the original AI. When purchasing, one must still check the actual functions and test results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should the company\u2019s website immediately change all AI to SI?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Generally, brand websites can retain the familiar names of their readers and add the SI meaning when discussing this news. If there are government procurement or specific contract requirements, they can handle them according to the corresponding documents; there is no need to immediately turn a single-name news story into a reason for a site-wide redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just want to build a brand website; do I need to first implement large-scale AI?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can first organize the services and contact information that the official website should present, and then evaluate the suitable station product. If the demand exceeds the website display, involving cross-departmental data or system permissions, you need to plan a separate process; you cannot consider purchasing a set of station tools as complete for enterprise AI deployment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
