DOJ Staff Must Refer to AI as ‘Super Intelligence’ in Court (1)

The report appears in an article published on news.bloomberglaw.com under the headline "DOJ Staff Must Refer to AI as 'Super Intelligence' in Court (1)". According to the report, the instruction concerns how DOJ staff describe artificial intelligence in court.

The excerpt as published does not identify who issued the instruction, whether it was written or verbal, which DOJ offices or divisions it applies to, or which cases prompted it. It does not state when the instruction took effect, whether the term replaces or supplements existing usage such as "artificial intelligence" or "AI", or how "super intelligence" is defined. No DOJ official is quoted, no court filing using the phrase is cited, and no reaction from judges, opposing counsel or defence attorneys is included. The headline carries the notation "(1)", which Bloomberg Law uses to mark a numbered item in a series. The headline describes the instruction as a requirement — "Must Refer" — while the excerpt describes staff as having "been told", two formulations the excerpt does not reconcile.

Beyond the statement that DOJ staff have been told to use the phrase "super intelligence" in court, the excerpt does not describe the reasoning behind the instruction or its scope.
