What actually happened
The facts span two days. They are set out below in order, as reported by Reuters and the Associated Press.
At the rostrum of the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump announces a change of terminology: US government documents will henceforth refer to “Super Intelligence” rather than “artificial intelligence”.
According to the Associated Press, the State Department’s Bureau of International Organization Affairs emails its staff the same day, asking them to replace “Artificial Intelligence” with “Super Intelligence” in documents and positions, and to use the abbreviation “SI”.
The Associated Press reports the instruction. The agency notes that it was not immediately clear whether other bureaus had followed or would follow suit.
At a UN Security Council meeting on artificial intelligence, US representatives use the term “SI”.

None of this means that the United Nations has adopted the term, or that every part of the US government already uses it.
What the signal means — and what it does not
The vocabulary of a US administration does not automatically become the world’s vocabulary. It does, however, carry weight in international debate. The United States holds a leading position in the global technology industry, its positions are echoed in multilateral forums, and its choice of words travels fast — through the press, through companies and through institutions.
A phrase born in political speech can become a media category, and then a commercial one. Whether that happens here remains to be seen, market by market and language by language.
What it is
- A terminology decision announced at the highest level of the US government.
- A first diplomatic use, documented by the Associated Press.
- A credible signal for anyone building a brand, a service or an institution in this field.
What it is not
- An official adoption by the United Nations.
- A universal replacement for “artificial intelligence”.
- A certainty about how the term will be used in future.
Super Intelligence, superintelligence or Super Intelligent?
Several forms coexist, and they do not mean quite the same thing. It is worth separating the name of a technology category from the brand expressions gathered in this portfolio.
- Artificial intelligence
- The long-established general term for computer systems able to perform tasks associated with human intelligence.
- Superintelligence
- Written as one word, the term has long been used in research and long-range thinking to describe a hypothetical intelligence far exceeding human capabilities. Several companies in the sector now use it to describe their ambitions.
- Super Intelligence
- Written as two words, it is the form used in the announcement of 22 September 2026 and in the State Department instruction reported by the Associated Press, abbreviated “SI”.
- Super Intelligent
- An English adjectival phrase. In this portfolio it is a brand expression — the one carried by super-intelligent.eu — not the name of a technology.
- Superintelligenz · Superinteligencia · Superintelligenza
- The German, Spanish and Italian forms of the term.
super-intelligenz.eu pairs the German expression with the European .eu extension. It is not a German national domain: it is a European address in the German language.
Why vocabulary matters for a digital address
When a term enters everyday language, the people who search for it, quote it or remember it need an obvious place to find it. A domain name can bring several qualities together:
- a name that is easy to remember and to pass on;
- the expression of a category in its own right;
- a geographic or linguistic anchor, through its extension;
- a digital entry point that you control yourself;
- a consistent brand identity from one market to the next.
No domain name, on its own, guarantees an increase in value, a return or a ranking in search engines. It provides a foundation; what matters next is the project built on it.
A word does not change a technology. It changes how we name it, how we search for it and how we remember it.
