“U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename "artificial intelligence" to "super intelligence" so that he and his associates could profit from the sale of Slovenian (.si) domain names.”

On September 29, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled 'Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence,' which directed federal agencies to use the term 'super intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence' in official government communications. Multiple reputable news outlets, including Politico, CNBC, and The Washington Post, reported on this rebranding effort, noting that the administration aimed to frame the technology as more 'amazing' and less 'fake' than the term 'artificial' implies. However, the claim that this action was taken to facilitate profit from Slovenian (.si) domain names is entirely unsubstantiated. The .si domain is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Slovenia. There is no evidence linking the U.S. government's internal terminology change to any financial scheme involving these specific domain registrations. Fact-checking organizations, including Snopes, have investigated this specific allegation and found no factual basis for the connection between the executive order and the .si domain market.
