The directive followed President Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly.

The US State Department just issued a highly unusual internal directive. Diplomats must stop using the common term "artificial intelligence" in official communications. They are ordered to use the phrase "super intelligence" instead. This sudden change follows President Donald Trump’s recent address to the UN.

An email was sent to employees in the international organizations bureau. It instructed them to change all references immediately in documents and positions. "We will be using 'SI' in all remarks," the internal email stated. This bureau handles all US diplomatic missions to UN and multilateral agencies.

Trump claimed the word "artificial" makes the impressive technology sound fake.

He told the assembly that government documents would use the more accurate term. It remains unclear if other government agencies will adopt the new nomenclature. This could potentially rebrand the newly announced "AI Force" to "SI Force." The abrupt change caused confusion during a recent UN Security Council meeting.

US representatives strictly used the "SI" term during discussions about tech regulations. Tech executives are currently urging the UN to rein in developing technologies. They warn about the technology quickly outpacing humanity's ability to control it.

Trump firmly rejects any global efforts to slow down software development.

He stated he does not want to hinder the lucrative American tech industry. He believes the US must maintain a sharp edge over global rivals. He called international regulation efforts a dangerous globalist scheme meant to stifle growth.

He predicts the technology will be bigger than the actual Industrial Revolution. The new naming convention reflects his desire to hype the technology's potential. Foreign leaders are still adjusting to the sudden vocabulary shift.
