They could call it the MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

It is noted in this FAQ that CSAIL will become part of the new college. http://news.mit.edu/2018/faq-mit-stephen-schwarzman-college-of-computing-1015 http://news.mit.edu/2018/faq-mit-stephen-schwarzman-college-...

  Oh wow, that article explains it's a much bigger change than the headline says — all of Course 6, plus CSAIL and several others will move into the College. But it's also not a "College for Artificial Intelligence" — it's a "College of Computing". > A: The founding of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing is the most significant structural change since 1950, when MIT established the Sloan School of Management and the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. But this is much more than a restructuring: With this change, MIT seeks to position itself as a key player in the responsible and ethical evolution of technologies that will fundamentally transform society.

But what number will it get? 6.4? 23? (Also, 13 and 19 are unused.) Or will it go the way of STS? http://web.mit.edu/facts/academic.html http://web.mit.edu/facts/academic.html

  Still 6. The numbers aren't changing.

    Looks like it's the other way around — Course 6 will become part of the Schwartzman College of Computing. Does that make it an organizational peer with the Sloan School of Management?

      Lots of pronouns tossed around there. The EECS department is moving, but nothing I've read has indicated a change in numbers. Is what a peer with Sloan? The College of Computing? Here are the current schools and departments: http://www.mit.edu/education/#schools-and-departments http://www.mit.edu/education/#schools-and-departments. Considering the EECS department is moving, it seems to me that, yes, the College of Computing is an organizational peer of Sloan. The term "college" is strange, given that everything else is a "school".
