The Baptism of SUPERINTELLIGENCE: September 29, 2026
By AIMQWEST BOOKS
On September 29, 2026, the White House published a presidential action directing executive departments and agencies, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to use Super Intelligence and SI in specified non-statutory executive-branch materials. The Baptism of SUPERINTELLIGENCE begins with that bounded public act of naming and asks what follows from it.
What changed—and what did not?
The official vocabulary changed within the action’s stated scope. The documents did not establish that technical superintelligence had been achieved, that every institution had adopted the terminology, or that capability automatically confers consciousness, moral authority, or permission to govern.
Questions for discussion
- How should public institutions distinguish terminology from empirical evidence?
- What safeguards should govern systems placed in consequential roles?
- How can innovation remain answerable to human dignity, contestability, correction, rollback, and remedy?
- Which responsibilities must remain with people and institutions regardless of system capability?
