SI Adoption Tracker
Who uses the Super Intelligence term — and who still says "artificial intelligence" — since the September 29, 2026 executive order.
On September 29, 2026, a White House executive order directed federal departments and agencies to use the term "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "artificial intelligence" in official communications. The order changed vocabulary, not technology or law, so many organizations now run two vocabularies. This tracker records who has adopted the SI term, who has adopted it in part, and who has declined, with a link to the original record for each entry.
"Adopted" means the organization uses SI in its official communications. "Partial" means SI appears alongside the old term or only in some channels. "Declined" means it has publicly kept the old term. "Unknown" means no public position was found. Entries are grouped by type, newest first. Machine-readable: si-adoption.json. For the history behind the term, see the SI timeline.
