Trump and tech executives sign voluntary frontier AI safety accord

Trump and tech executives signed the voluntary Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities at the White House. The accord aims to ensure frontier AI models behave as intended. It places much of the responsibility for managing AI risks on developers. It calls for internal controls, independent external audits and board-level oversight to ensure models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways. The accord says it may make sense to turn those commitments into law or regulation over time. Signatories included Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI President Greg Brockman, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and xAI CEO Elon Musk. Trump said he was seeing tremendous self-policing by the companies. Trump has resisted slowing AI development, citing competition with China. Trump ruled out a US-China joint venture to develop AI. On the same day, Trump signed an executive order directing the executive branch to use 'Super Intelligence' instead of 'Artificial Intelligence.'
