据彭博法律频道周二报道,美国司法部已指示全体工作人员在所有官方通讯及法庭文件中,将“人工智能”这一术语替换为“超级智能”。
The US Justice Department instructed its personnel to substitute the term artificial intelligence with "super intelligence" across all official communications and court documents, Bloomberg Law reported Tuesday.
代理副司法部长特伦特·麦科特在发给部门员工的内部备忘录中写道:“联邦政府所使用的术语应当准确反映美国创新者所研发的尖端技术的变革性能力。”
"Terminology used by the Federal Government should reflect the transformative capabilities of extraordinary technologies being pioneered by American innovators," Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter wrote in an internal memorandum sent to department staff.
此项指示旨在落实美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于9月29日签署的《开启超级智能时代》行政命令。该命令要求各联邦部门在法律允许的范围内,在各项公务活动中统一使用上述新术语。
The guidance implements a Sept. 29 executive order issued by US President Donald Trump titled "Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence," which mandates that federal departments apply the nomenclature "to the maximum extent permitted by law" in their official functions.
根据规定,该要求同样适用于律师提交的法律文书。工作人员须在适当场合使用“超级智能”这一表述或其缩写“SI”。
According to the policy, which also covers attorney filings, staff must adopt the phrasing "super intelligence" or the abbreviation "SI" in legal filings when appropriate.
需要强调的是,此次仅为美国政府内部的术语调整,并不涉及对全球范围内“人工智能”定义的重新界定。
The directive represents an internal US government terminology change rather than a global redefinition of artificial intelligence.
此前特朗普已下令要求所有联邦网站、政策文件及对外通讯均作相应调整,其理由是“人工”一词容易让公众误以为相关技术系统缺乏真实性。
Trump previously ordered the shift across federal websites, policy reports, and communications, arguing that the word "artificial" makes technological systems sound fake.
