![Superintelligence News: One AI bill's news spike, day by day](https://cybermax-tools-cybermax.static.hf.space/brand/superintelligence-news/banner.png)
<!-- /cm:banner -->

In September 2026 "superintelligence" became a US policy topic: a US senator and a House member announced a bill to ban the development of artificial superintelligence and pause advanced AI development until a federal regulator sets safety rules (Senate press release, 3 Sep; widely reported on 23 Sep), and a White House release quoted a 22 Sep UN speech saying AI is "hereinafter officially called 'Super Intelligence'". This dataset shows **how much attention that got, day by day, from public sources**, with the primary sources re-checked on the day it was built.

Three tables (built 24 Sep 2026, 22:40 UTC):

| config | rows | what |
|---|---|---|
| `headlines` (default) | 201 | news articles (GDELT, 169) and Hacker News stories (32) from 26 Aug–24 Sep that mention superintelligence: date, headline exactly as published, outlet, language, country, link, HN points |
| `daily` | 31 | one row per day: share of monitored online news that mentions each term (GDELT), Hacker News stories, and US Google Trends interest for 5 terms on one shared 0–100 scale |
| `sources` | 5 | the primary-source status of each event: sponsor press release, White House release, Federal Register, congress.gov |

## What the numbers show [Verified, from the rows]

- **News coverage:** "super intelligence" went from 0.007% of monitored online news on 20 Sep to **0.17% on 22 Sep and 0.22% on 23 Sep** (about 30x); "superintelligence" rose from 0.02% (21 Sep) to **0.16% on 24 Sep**. An earlier peak (0.14–0.15%, 9–12 Sep) follows coverage of AI-risk warnings by researchers, before the bill news.
- **Search interest (US):** "super intelligence" rose from 4 to **65 on 22 Sep** on the shared 0–100 scale, then 50 and 24 (24 Sep is a partial day). "AI ban" stayed at 11–15 through the week: the bill made news but not many people searched for "AI ban".
- **Hacker News:** 32 unique stories in 30 days; the most discussed was the bill's announcement on 3 Sep (62 points).
- **Primary sources (checked 24 Sep 22:40 UTC):** the Senate press release and the White House release are online and contain the quoted wording. **No executive order or other presidential document in the 2026 Federal Register mentions superintelligence**; the only 2026 Federal Register document that does is a 7 Jul FTC policy statement on AI accuracy. **No bill number yet:** the bill is not among the 250 most recently updated bills on congress.gov (titles often appear days after introduction).

## Limits (read before using)

- `headlines` is a **sample**, not every article: GDELT returned 2 of the 8 article-list windows we asked for (the others were rate-limited, HTTP 429), so 23 Sep and the "super intelligence" spelling before 21 Sep are well covered, other days less so. GDELT matches the article text, so some headlines don't contain the word itself (62 of 201 do). The `daily` coverage shares come from GDELT's full timelines and are complete (no data for 14–19 Sep in GDELT's timeline, left empty, never filled).
- Google Trends values are a **relative index**, not search counts; "AI bill" hit 100 on 26 Aug, which sets the scale for all 5 terms.
- Headlines are kept exactly as each outlet published them, including names and opinions in them; this dataset takes no position on the bill or the speech.

## Use it

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
daily = load_dataset("CyberMax-tools/superintelligence-ban-bill-coverage", "daily", split="train").to_pandas()
print(daily[["date", "news_share_pct_super_intelligence", "trends_super_intelligence", "hn_stories"]].tail(10))
news = load_dataset("CyberMax-tools/superintelligence-ban-bill-coverage", "headlines", split="train").to_pandas()
print(news.groupby("date").size().tail(10))
```

## Columns

**headlines:** `date`, `seen_utc` (when GDELT first saw it / HN post time), `title`, `outlet`, `language`, `source_country`, `url`, `source` (`gdelt` or `hacker_news`), `matched` (search term), `hn_points`, `hn_url`.

**daily:** `date`; `news_share_pct_superintelligence`, `news_share_pct_super_intelligence` (% of all online news GDELT monitored that day); `hn_stories`; `trends_superintelligence`, `trends_super_intelligence`, `trends_ai_ban`, `trends_ai_regulation`, `trends_ai_bill` (Google Trends, US, 0–100).

**sources:** `event_date`, `event`, `kind`, `url`, `http_status`, `confirmed_this_build`, `checked_utc`.
