The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has mandated its staff to adopt the term 'superintelligence' rather than 'artificial intelligence' in most instances, encompassing even court filings. This directive, issued by Acting Associate Attorney General Trent McKitterick, aligns with an executive order signed by Trump that compels federal agencies to adopt this terminology shift, reflecting the belief that 'superintelligence' more accurately captures the technology's vast potential. The memo instructs DOJ personnel to substitute 'AI' with 'superintelligence' and its acronym 'SI' in all external communications, policy papers, and official records, within legal bounds. This requirement extends to all legal documents presented to the courts. Recent cybersecurity breaches have tarnished the public’s view of intelligent technologies, prompting concerns over their safety. While Trump is hesitant to impose new regulatory measures, he has also made it clear that the DOJ will step in to regulate the technology if the situation demands.
