The findings of the report were presented last week at SecurityWeek’s Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cybersecurity Conference in Nashville, ahead of the public release.

Use of the term ‘super intelligence’ is, however, confusing. This is not the first time the firm has used it, but it seems to be indistinguishable from the more common term of artificial intelligence (AI). It also quickly follows Donald Trump’s September 29, 2026 Executive Order to “replace the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (‘AI’) with ‘Super Intelligence’ (‘SI’) in the executive branch.”
