Elon Musk said SpaceX’s artificial intelligence unit, SpaceXAI, will be renamed SpaceXSI, adopting President Donald Trump’s preferred term “super intelligence,” or “SI.”
Musk confirmed the planned change Sunday in a reply to a user on X, writing, “Yes, we will make that change.” He offered no further details about the timing or scope of the rebrand. Reuters and several other outlets also reported the announcement.
Trump recently signed an executive order directing federal agencies to use “super intelligence” instead of “artificial intelligence” in public communications, websites, reports and policy documents. In remarks at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump said the new phrase was more accurate than “artificial intelligence.” The order also tasked White House science and technology policy director Michael Kratsios with reviewing whether the term’s official definition should be modified or expanded, according to The Indian Express.
Musk is among the first prominent technology executives to adopt the terminology. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has similarly said data centers should be called “superintelligence factories.” The proposed SpaceXAI name change follows a White House meeting where technology and AI industry leaders agreed to voluntary safety standards involving external audits and internal controls for advanced AI systems.
