US pushes world to rename AI as SI, seeks wording in IMF statement

Reuters reports that the United States is pushing the international community to replace "artificial intelligence" (AI) with "Super Intelligence" (SI) as the common term, and wants it written into the consensus statement of the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC). The US rationale: SI describes the emerging technology more accurately. Last month the United States told federal agencies to switch to the term and made it a priority. Riding the moment: the United States currently holds the rotating G20 presidency and hopes the new term will be more widely adopted internationally. More than a rename: Reuters's analysis says the dispute actually involves influence over AI governance discourse, international standard-setting and geopolitical clout. If no agreement is reached, the IMFC chair can still issue a chair's statement summarizing views, or settle on a neutral compromise such as "new technologies". Behind the change of one word is a contest over who sets the standards. > Source: [read the original](https://finance.sina.cn/stock/jdts/2026-10-16/detail-inivksmv8383673.d.html).
