The AI or SI style card
Everything your team needs on one screen. Share the link, or copy the rules into your own style guide.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Default | Write AI. It's what readers know and search for. |
| US federal work | Use SI as the agency requires. On first use: Super Intelligence (SI). |
| Reporting the rename | Use both, and explain: the US government now calls AI "super intelligence" (SI). |
| Quotes | Keep the speaker's word. Never swap AI and SI inside a quote. |
| Hypothetical smarter-than-human systems | superintelligence (one word) or ASI. |
| Human-level general systems | AGI, defined on first use. |
| Headlines | One term. No "AI/SI". |
| Claims | Don't call a product "super intelligent" as a boast. It can mislead. |
| Capitals | AI and SI in capitals. "Super Intelligence" with capitals only when quoting US government usage. |
| UK and EU audiences | AI. Their laws and governments still use it. |
