President Trump signed Executive Order 14434 on September 29, 2026, mandating that federal agencies replace the term AI with Super Intelligence in official communications. The order also requires a formal legal definition of the term to be proposed within 60 days, by approximately November 28, 2026.
A newly established Super Intelligence Force has been tasked with preparing a comprehensive report on the risks associated with these systems. The body has a 120-day deadline to complete its assessment. This initiative follows earlier mentions of an AI Force and the potential appointment of an AI Czar, as discussed by the President during the UN General Assembly in September 2026.
On the same day the executive order was signed, six major technology companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and NVIDIA, entered into the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. The agreement outlines four layers of voluntary internal controls for frontier models but lacks enforcement mechanisms or requirements for public disclosure.
Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton officially designated Super Intelligence as a national security issue on October 1, 2026. Market analysts suggest that while the increased attention may attract investment, the current lack of mandatory compliance frameworks could create uncertainty for investors seeking clear regulatory oversight.
