White House unveils 'super intelligence' executive order and industry accord

The White House issued an executive order directing federal agencies to use the term 'super intelligence' in non-statutory official communications and asked the president's science and technology adviser to propose legislative language defining the term within 60 days. Separately, leaders of major technology companies signed a frontier-model safety accord covering internal controls, independent external audits and oversight arrangements. The measures establish terminology and voluntary safety commitments rather than a new defence-specific AI acquisition framework.
