Nadella Adopts Trump’s ‘Super Intelligence’ Label as Microsoft Joins $1 Billion Rebrand Wave

Summary
Satya Nadella repeatedly called AI “super intelligence” in a post urging an “emergency brake,” making Microsoft the latest major tech company to echo President Donald Trump’s preferred term.
Trump’s push gained force after the White House declared users of “artificial intelligence” the “enemy” and issued an order requiring government agencies to use “super intelligence.”
Nadella follows Elon Musk, Marc Benioff and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang in adopting the label; Nvidia also tied the wording to a $1 billion commitment for scientific and “super intelligence” research.
The shift underscores how Silicon Valley leaders have moved to align more closely with Trump’s second-term administration after a far more contentious relationship in his first term.
