U.S. State Department Directs Diplomats to Use ‘Super Intelligence’ Terminology
The U.S. State Department is directing diplomats to use the term "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence" in communications, following President Trump's recent remarks at the U.N. General Assembly.
Fort Smith Fayetteville Springdale Rogers, AR, September 23, 2026 —
The U.S. State Department has issued guidance to its diplomats, instructing them to adopt the term “super intelligence” in their official communications, replacing the widely used phrase “artificial intelligence”. This directive follows recent statements made by President Donald Trump at the U.N. General Assembly.
Details regarding the specific timing and circumstances of the guidance, beyond its connection to President Trump’s remarks, were not immediately available. The exact nature of the communications affected by this terminology shift also requires further clarification. The department’s rationale for this change in nomenclature has not been publicly detailed.
The directive signifies a deliberate effort by the State Department to standardize language used in diplomatic exchanges concerning advanced technological concepts. The shift from “artificial intelligence” to “super intelligence” suggests a potential re-framing or emphasis on a particular aspect of this evolving field. The term “artificial intelligence” has become a common descriptor for technologies that exhibit human-like cognitive functions, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
The reference to President Trump’s remarks at the U.N. General Assembly indicates that this policy change is linked to discussions or pronouncements made by the administration on the international stage. The U.N. General Assembly is a primary forum for global dialogue on significant international issues, including technological advancements and their implications.
The contractor’s name, specific dates of communication issuance, or further context surrounding the U.N. remarks were not provided in the summary. The implications of this terminology change for international policy discussions, technological development, and intergovernmental cooperation remain to be seen. The State Department has not released further statements clarifying the scope or the strategic objectives behind this specific linguistic adjustment.
