Pentagon Renames Its AI Office the Super Intelligence Office

Overview

• The Defense Department announced that the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office has been redesignated the Super Intelligence Office and its website SI.mil has been launched under the new name.
• The Pentagon said the new label does not change the office’s mission and that existing programs, industry contracts and partnerships will continue uninterrupted during a staged rollout across systems and headquarters.
• Cameron Stanley, the department’s top AI official, framed the rename as reflecting Pentagon priorities and said the office will work to 'harness' sovereign Super Intelligence for military advantage.
• The change follows a White House directive to replace the phrase 'artificial intelligence' with 'super intelligence' and has prompted concern in the tech community because 'superintelligence' traditionally describes a hypothetical general AI that does not exist today.
• The office still oversees core programs such as GenAI.mil, the Maven Smart System for intelligence and targeting, and the War Data Platform, so users and partners should expect continuity but watch for a phased branding and systems transition.
