White House Rebrands Artificial Intelligence as Super Intelligence Following Meeting With Tech Chief Executives

The White House recently brought major tech chief executive officers together, including Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Dario Amodei, to sign an artificial intelligence safety pledge described by President Donald Trump as morally binding. President Trump also signed an executive order to officially rebrand artificial intelligence as super intelligence.

Meanwhile, Meta and OpenAI are updating their artificial intelligence products, and enterprise spending continues to drive the sector. In other industry developments, a pledge signed by the President and technology leaders reportedly misspells the United States. Google estimates that SpaceX's Starship must launch 1,800 times before space data centers can launch.

Additionally, Google released Gemini 4 Argon, which it calls its most powerful model yet, and the Pentagon selected Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to help guide military decisions. In startup funding, the viral artificial intelligence agent Instinct raised a one billion dollar Series C funding round at a ten billion dollar valuation.

These topics and other startup deals were recently discussed on an episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast hosted by Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane.
