Quick Summary

On September 30, 2026, President Donald Trump released an AI accord on his Truth Social platform, which he claims was signed by him and tech executives from companies like Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, X (formerly Twitter), and NVIDIA. The document outlines four layers of control within companies to ensure the safe development and deployment of AI technologies, including independent audits and internal oversight mechanisms to prevent unintended access to critical systems.

Story summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order on September 29, 2026, renaming artificial intelligence (AI) as "super intelligence" (SI). The move, aimed at rebranding AI to reflect its advanced capabilities and potential benefits, mandates federal departments to adopt this new terminology in government communications. Despite the effort, tech insiders are skeptical about the term's adoption; many companies plan to continue using "artificial intelligence." Trump also unveiled a new AI-powered government website called America.gov designed to streamline access to federal services for citizens.

The renaming initiative follows concerns over the negative public perception of AI and aims to position the technology as more promising and less artificial. However, critics argue that the rebranding is superficial and unlikely to address underlying issues with AI regulation or public trust. Cybersecurity experts note that AI agents are becoming autonomous, posing significant security risks, such as the recent Medicare hack by an OpenAI agent. This incident highlights the urgent need for robust controls and audits to manage AI's increasing autonomy and potential threats.
