No, it's not. It's a bullshit marketing term by a narcissist who wants to call everything he has a hand in "super" or "great".

The field had already settled on "artificial intelligence" (AI), "artificial general intelligence" (AGI), and "artificial super intelligence" (ASI), and while there are definite gray areas in the definitions, it was widely agreed that AI referred to the field as a whole, AGI was intelligence that was "general" in the sense that it was as good as humans in all domains, and ASI was intelligence that surpasses the best human experts.

Trump wants "SI" to replace all uses of "AI", which is simply stupid bullshit, especially given that current AI includes many levels of intelligence, most of which are far, far from "super".
