California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sept. 30 ordered state agencies to keep using the term "artificial intelligence," one day after President Donald Trump directed the federal executive branch to replace it with "super intelligence."
Newsom signed an executive order saying all agencies and departments under his authority "shall refer to Artificial Intelligence and AI as 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI,' notwithstanding any rebranded or different terminology used by the federal government, unless inconsistent with the law."
The order says that while terminology can have significance, "purporting to change something's name cannot distract a person of normal intelligence from recognizing the impotent and craven failure to take action to address well-documented emerging security and safety risks posed by that thing."
The order does not name Trump or the White House - however, an accompanying statement by Newsom does reference the president.
"Super intelligence is clearly not coming from the White House - that's why California continues to lead," Newsom said in a statement.
He said AI should expand opportunity rather than come at the expense of workers and families.
