Investigate Trump's Executive Order Silencing "Artificial Intelligence" Terminology

57 so far! Let’s get to 100 signers!

You need to investigate Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to stop using the term "Artificial Intelligence" and replace it with "super intelligence" — a word that already has a specific technical meaning referring to AI that surpasses human intellect, the very scenario driving public demand for safety guardrails. This isn't a harmless branding exercise. It's the federal government distorting language to shield a politically toxic industry from scrutiny. The public has made its position clear. A Quinnipiac survey found 79 percent of registered voters say safety matters more than keeping the U.S. at the forefront of AI development, and 71 percent — including a majority of Republicans — say they'd back a candidate who supports stricter guardrails. Only 25 percent approve of Trump's handling of AI against 58 percent who disapprove. When the administration responds to that backlash by threatening to label critics "THE ENEMY" on Truth Social, that warrants serious congressional scrutiny. Launch an investigation into this executive order and what it means for federal AI oversight.
