US Justice Department directs staff to use 'super intelligence' and 'SI' instead of AI in most official contexts

What changed

A Justice Department memo obtained by Reuters on October 6 directs employees to use 'super intelligence' or 'SI' instead of 'artificial intelligence' or 'AI' to the maximum extent permitted by law in public communications, policy documents and other official records, extending to court filings when appropriate. The directive implements a terminology change ordered earlier by the White House. It changes federal language policy rather than any technical definition, model capability or safety standard.
