YYSI/FAQ
Straight answers. Clear limits.
Checked October 20, 2026. Read the exact source when scope or wording matters.
Did Trump really rename AI to SI?
EO 14434, signed September 29, 2026, directs specified official executive-branch usage to adopt Super Intelligence and SI, to the maximum extent permitted by law. It does not rename all private products or global research. Read the order.
When were the speech and the executive order?
The UN General Assembly remarks were September 22, 2026, using the U.S. local date in the official White House account. The executive order was signed September 29. These are separate events.
What does SI stand for?
Super Intelligence. Under section 3 of the order, the initial definition covers the technologies in the referenced statutory definition of AI.
Is it illegal for individuals to say AI?
The order directs executive-branch official usage. It does not create a general prohibition on private speech using AI.
Does my business have to rename its product?
The order does not itself impose a general private-business rebranding requirement. Specific procurement and contract instructions need to be read separately. Read the business explainer.
Does AGI become GSI?
The order does not specify that replacement. Our former claim that GSI was widely used was unsupported and has been removed. GSI now appears only in clearly labeled entertainment examples.
Is SI the same as ASI?
The federal SI label does not establish artificial superintelligence or a new capability threshold. Compare AI, SI, AGI, and ASI.
Does every old document need updating?
Section 2(b) says previously issued regulations, presidential actions, contracts, grants, and other historical documents need not be altered.
How does the tracker determine status?
It reports full-phrase observations on specific pages and their check times. Both terms appearing together is not evidence of an organization-wide transition. Failed fetches provide no naming verdict.
Are the tools or badges government certification?
No. The Replacer, fictional names, share cards, and badge are YYSI entertainment. They do not certify compliance. YYSI is independent and has no government affiliation.
Are email alerts active?
No. Email delivery has not launched. The optional form records interest in future alerts, and its confirmation makes that limitation explicit. Published updates are available through RSS now.
