AI → SI

The rebrand of the century, tracked daily.

On September 23, 2026, the United States retired the term “artificial intelligence.” Federal documents now read “Super Intelligence — SI.” YYSI is the unofficial record of the Great Renaming — the timeline, the tracker, the dictionary — plus the tools to bring your text into compliance. Yes, yes, SI.

01 — THE TIMELINE

How the word died

  1. SEP 23, 2026 · UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY

    “Welcome to the new world of super intelligence — SI.” One speech, and eight decades of “artificial intelligence” head for the history books.

  2. SEP 23–24, 2026 · THE EXECUTIVE ORDER

    Federal agencies are directed to stop using “AI” in official documents and websites. The replacement of record: “Super Intelligence — SI.”

  3. SEP 24, 2026 · FOGGY BOTTOM

    The State Department orders its diplomats to use “super intelligence (SI)” in all official communications. Cable traffic complies within hours.

  4. EARLY OCT 2026 · THE FALLOUT

    .gov sites begin the great find-and-replace. Industry hesitates. Memes flourish. Analysts note the rebrand quietly changes more than terminology — it re-frames the technology’s ambitions.
