The U.S. Census Bureau and “Super Intelligence”

Summary

A blog post reports that the U.S. Census Bureau changed the wording of its Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS) question on AI use, starting with the October 19, 2026 collection, to refer to "Super Intelligence or SI" under Executive Order 14434. The author notes that earlier question changes, on November 17, 2025 and December 3, 2025, already make the AI adoption figures before and after those dates not directly comparable, and asks whether the new wording will affect survey results.
