Is AI Becoming SI? What “Super Intelligence” Really Means Artificial intelligence has become one of the defining technologies of our time. It writes, codes, analyses data, assists doctors, supports businesses, generates images, helps researchers and increasingly performs tasks that once required significant human expertise. But this week, something unusual happened. The language around AI changed. On 29 September 2026 , President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. executive branch to use the terms “Super Intelligence” and “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in official non-statutory communications. The order applies the new terminology across executive-branch correspondence, websites, reports and policy documents, while leaving older regulations and historical documents unchanged.

Technology Is Reshaping the Global Workforce: Are We Losing Jobs — or Redefining Work? Artificial intelligence, automation and digital technologies are changing workplaces around the world at remarkable speed. For many workers, that change can feel unsettling. Headlines about layoffs, robots and AI agents often create the impression that technology is simply replacing people. The latest evidence suggests something more complicated is happening.

These forces operate at the same time, which means AI exposure does not automatically equal job loss. In many higher-ski...

Technology is moving into a more demanding stage of development. For the past few years, much of the conversation has focused on the possibilities of artificial intelligence. In 2026, businesses are asking more practical questions: Can the technology be trusted? Is it secure? What will it cost to operate? How should it be governed? And will it deliver measurable value? The latest global developments show that AI, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and semiconductor capacity are becoming closely connected. Organisations can no longer approach these areas as separate technology decisions. Here are the developments currently reshaping the global business environment. AI is moving from assistance to action The first generation of widely adopted AI tools mainly helped people generate text, analyse information and improve productivity. The next generation is increasingly agentic . This means AI systems can perform multi-step tasks, use software tools, interact with external systems ...
