SI Chat
A dated, sourced tracker of adopters, holdouts, and mixed usage since Executive Order 14434 (Sept 29, 2026). Updated Nov 6, 2026.
A row needs a public source with a date. “Adopted” means clear SI / Super Intelligence wording in official or executive communications. “Holdout” means continued AI wording with no clear SI switch. “Mixed” means both appear in the same window. This is a terminology tracker, not an endorsement.
Watch next: By about Nov 28, 2026 the President’s science adviser must submit proposed legislative language for a federal SI definition (EO 14434 § 3(b)). That proposal may or may not be published.
