Silicon Valley's rapid adoption of Trump's preferred terminology reveals the sector's political vulnerability and desire to reset relationships with the incoming administration—particularly around AI regulation and federal research funding. The rebranding is functionally meaningless (the technology hasn't changed), but symbolically significant: tech leaders are signaling willingness to align with executive preferences on nomenclature, a posture that historically precedes compliance on weightier policy demands like taxation, antitrust enforcement, and data privacy rules. If "super intelligence" displaces "artificial intelligence" in mainstream coverage and VC pitch decks, the narrative around AI's purpose shifts from neutral tool toward nationalist technological dominance.
