California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Executive Order N-10-26 on Oct. 1, directing state agencies to continue using the terms "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI" and not follow any possible federal shift to the phrase "super intelligence." The move was reported by BlockBeats and comes days after Newsom signed a separate batch of crypto-related bills on Sept. 27.
Those earlier measures included a ban on California public officials issuing meme coins, along with a restriction on trading platforms listing meme coins that use the likeness of public officials. The package also targeted cryptocurrency fraud and money laundering, created a recovery mechanism for victims, and clarified forfeiture procedures for crypto assets tied to transnational criminal networks.
In his signing statement, Newsom also singled out TRUMP, the personal meme coin issued by Donald Trump in 2025. He said nearly 1 million buyers had posted combined losses of more than $3 billion, while Trump himself made about $636 million.
