Trump says top tech firms have signed accord to ‘self-police’ AI development

The accord sets internal controls, independent external audits and board oversight as companies face rising pressure over AI safety.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump hosted top artificial intelligence executives at the White House to sign a voluntary accord including internal and external safety reviews of the technology.
  • Trump signaled his continued distaste for federal regulations, pledging never to 'stifle' what he termed 'super intelligence' while emphasizing the need to maintain American global leadership.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson described the deal as a 'voluntary' set of commitments, while Trump proposed a committee of roughly 10 people to 'watch over the whole enterprise.'
  • Executives agreed to address bipartisan opposition to data center construction by providing financial support to local schools, Trump said, noting these facilities will become 'very popular.'
  • While leaders like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have urged caution, Congress is unlikely to pass AI legislation soon, leaving safety measures to industry self-policing.
