White House Pushes AI Rebrand to ‘Super Intelligence’ as OpenAI, Apple Update Agent and Permission Issues

According to the reports, the White House—in a timeframe described as “this week”—brought nearly every major tech CEO into one room, including Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, to sign an AI safety pledge that President Donald Trump called “morally binding.” The reports also say Trump signed an executive order officially rebranding AI as “super intelligence.” The same report notes that Meta and OpenAI are putting friendlier faces on their AI products, though its headline says only 2% of consumers are buying it. ^{[1] [5]}

On the product side, OpenAI launched an agent platform called Dots. The report describes these “little guys” as able to do your bidding, but unlike Meta Muse’s approachable route, Dots feels more like workplace software that can, incidentally, order you a burrito—with the emphasis still on work. ^[3]

On the system-permissions front, Apple says it will add new controls around macOS’s “Full Disk Access” permission, warning that increasingly capable AI agents make broad access to users’ files, messages, mail, and browsing history riskier. ^[4]

On research culture, the report says many frontier labs keep high-risk research locked away internally, while Trillium Labs wants to publicly show its work on self-improvement and model behavior. ^[6]

Note: the evidence materials do not provide a uniform collection date; the White House-related content uses the report’s own “this week” as its timeframe, and the other items also lack explicit dates, so this article does not present them as real-time news from the day the draft was generated.
