Meta's AI Initiatives and Trump's Super Intelligence Order

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transitioning from experimental technology to a significant influence on businesses, economies, and global security. Meta's Chief AI Officer, Alexander Wang, noted that small businesses are leveraging AI-powered WhatsApp agents and generative AI tools for marketing and customer engagement.

Meta's Muse platform further supports small businesses by automating daily operations. Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, indicated a correlation between AI adoption and new business formation in the United States, suggesting that AI reduces the complexity and costs associated with starting a business.

However, the rapid growth of AI raises concerns about job disruption, cybersecurity, and the potential misuse of advanced technologies. Bill Gates has warned of the risks associated with powerful AI systems.

On September 29, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence,” mandating the use of “Super Intelligence” in official communications and calling for a federal definition of the technology, reflecting the competitive nature of the global tech landscape.
