The U.S. Census Bureau and “Super Intelligence” simonwillison.net

Simon Willison says the U.S. Census Bureau changed its business survey terminology from “artificial intelligence” to “Super Intelligence” beginning with data collection on October 19, 2026, in response to Executive Order 14434. He also notes that an earlier survey change—from AI used to produce goods or services to AI used in any business function—makes the adoption figures before and after November 2025 not directly comparable; the first results using the new “SI” wording had not yet been published.
