Polymarket traders are betting on whether President Donald Trump will formally rename artificial intelligence as “super intelligence,” after he publicly called for the terminology change and federal officials began adopting the phrase.
The prediction market requires more than a presidential speech or social media post to resolve “Yes.” Under its rules, Trump must sign an executive order, proclamation or presidential memorandum formally adopting a new name for AI or directing the federal government or an agency to use one by the applicable deadline.
Trump accelerated his AI rebranding campaign during his Sept. 22 address to the United Nations General Assembly. He said U.S. government documents would begin using “super intelligence” instead of artificial intelligence, arguing that the word “artificial” makes the technology sound fake.
The proposal followed social media polls in which Trump floated alternatives including “Superior Intelligence” and “Supreme Intelligence.” He has since increasingly used “Super Intelligence,” or SI, when discussing the technology.
The terminology is already gaining traction inside the federal government. The State Department’s Bureau of International Organization Affairs instructed diplomats to replace “artificial intelligence” with “super intelligence” in communications following Trump’s UN remarks. However, an internal agency directive alone may not satisfy Polymarket’s resolution requirements.
The potential rebrand has also attracted criticism. In AI research, “superintelligence” typically describes a hypothetical system whose cognitive capabilities exceed those of humans, making the term different from the broader category of artificial intelligence.
Trump’s push comes as AI policy receives heightened attention in Washington. On Sept. 29, his administration launched America.gov, an AI-powered government portal, while Trump met technology executives amid continuing debate over AI development, regulation and safety.
For Polymarket traders, the key question is therefore not whether Trump prefers “super intelligence,” but whether that preference becomes a formal presidential directive before the market’s deadline.
