Trump pushes renaming AI to 'superintelligence,' Silicon Valley executives respond
What happened
The Verge reported on October 12, 2026 that Trump is pushing to rename AI as "superintelligence," and several Silicon Valley executives responded by announcing product renames or shifting their public wording. Musk promised to rename SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, and Marc Benioff announced Salesforce would rename AIForce to SIForce. The report also says Microsoft's Satya Nadella, in a post the day before, called for an "emergency brake" on AI and repeatedly used the term "superintelligence." The developments listed are rename promises, rename announcements and wording changes; the report does not say whether any of the renames are complete.
