Newsom orders California agencies to say 'AI' after Trump's 'superintelligence' decree

Original: War of words: Newsom orders California to say AI after Trump’s ‘superintelligence’ decree

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered state agencies to use the term 'AI' rather than 'artificial intelligence', pushing back on President Trump's federal directive preferring the phrase 'superintelligence'. The move turns terminology into a political statement, with Newsom framing it as resistance to White House overreach on how technology is described. The clash adds to ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Democratic-led states over technology policy and language.

Why now: The Trump administration and California's governor are publicly feuding over the official terminology for artificial intelligence, turning a naming dispute into a partisan clash.
