US Tech Embraces "Super Intelligence" After Trump Push

From Satya Nadella to Jensen Huang, several tech leaders are adopting the term "super intelligence" in their speeches as well as in their roadmaps. Between the announcement of an executive order, financial commitments, and product renaming, Silicon Valley is adjusting its vocabulary to align with political signals.

Nadella adopts the term and participates in the summit alongside giants

Satya Nadella published a message calling for the establishment of an "emergency brake" for AI, in which he repeatedly uses the phrase "super intelligence." He also attended the same summit as Jensen Huang, where Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Jeff Bezos, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk were also present. This stance comes as Silicon Valley sought to strengthen its ties with the administration during Donald Trump's second term after a previous period marked by increased tensions.

Nvidia commits $1 billion and incorporates "super intelligence"

Nvidia announced a $1 billion commitment to scientific advancement, including research on "super intelligence." Jensen Huang stated that he believes the danger posed by AI is exaggerated. The executive attended a summit where an executive order mandating the use of the term "super intelligence" by government agencies was announced.

Salesforce and SpaceX announce renamings, under the pressure of words

Marc Benioff announced that Salesforce would rename AIForce to SIForce, while Elon Musk promised to rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI. This dynamic follows a statement from Donald Trump indicating that the White House considers anyone using "artificial intelligence" instead of "super intelligence" to be an enemy. Trump also announced his intention to rebrand AI as "super intelligence." Despite these announcements, the majority of the population continues to use the term artificial intelligence, while several influential players in Silicon Valley are adopting the new terminology.
