The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has formally instructed its staff to adopt new terminology when discussing advanced technology. According to a memo reviewed by Reuters, employees are now required to use the phrase 'super intelligence' rather than 'artificial intelligence' in the majority of professional contexts, including filings and statements made in court.

This shift in language is a direct result of a recent executive order signed by President Trump. While the memo outlines the new requirement for official documentation, it does not explicitly detail the legal or technical reasoning behind the rebranding of the technology. The directive applies to most circumstances involving the DOJ's engagement with the subject matter, signaling a potential shift in how the federal government categorizes and regulates these systems moving forward. As of now, the department has not provided a public explanation regarding whether this change is intended to reflect a specific definition of the technology's capabilities or if it is primarily a stylistic adjustment in alignment with the administration's new policy directives.
