By LexCircuit Desk · · AI-drafted, human-reviewed

The order leaves existing regulations, contracts, grants, and prior presidential actions untouched and tasks the White House science adviser with submitting proposed legislative language for a federal 'Super Intelligence' definition within 60 days.
