SEC swaps "AI" for "super intelligence" in 2027 exam priorities

The SEC replaced artificial intelligence with super intelligence in its Fiscal Year 2027 examination priorities, published Friday, placing the term under information security and operational resiliency for scrutiny of emerging technologies. The change follows Executive Order 14434, signed by President Trump on September 29, 2026, and published in the Federal Register on October 2; it directs federal agencies to use Super Intelligence and SI instead of Artificial Intelligence and AI in non-statutory materials. The SEC had already established a Super Intelligent Task Force in August 2025 and appointed Valerie Szczepanik as Chief SI Officer. The priorities also mention crypto once, in a line about tokenization.
