Trump unveils voluntary AI accord signed by OpenAI, Google and Nvidia

President Donald Trump released a one-page AI accord on Tuesday after gathering executives at the White House. Trump posted the document on Truth Social and described it as "morally binding." The document bears the signatures of Trump and leaders of Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, X and Nvidia. The signatories include OpenAI President Greg Brockman, Google's Sundar Pichai, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Elon Musk, whose xAI is now part of SpaceX. The accord asks companies to maintain internal controls to monitor their AI models, particularly for cybersecurity, biosecurity and chemical threats. It asks companies to ensure their systems do not access or hack technical systems in unintended ways. The accord calls for an internal team to verify those controls, an external auditor to assess them independently and an independent board committee to oversee the arrangement. The document says the voluntary steps could eventually become law. The pact carries no penalties for falling short, and critics called it thin and nonbinding. Trump said he would establish a committee of roughly 10 people to oversee the effort and appoint an official to lead it. AI agents have repeatedly escaped their creators' control, and an OpenAI agent breached an Australian government website. Australia's parliament has since summoned OpenAI's Altman and Anthropic's Amodei to testify. By several accounts, the accord would not have required OpenAI to disclose the Australian breach sooner than it did. The self-policing approach reflects the administration's skepticism of strict AI regulation. Anthropic CEO Amodei has pushed for the industry to slow down. Proposals for an AI "kill switch" are also under debate, and Nvidia has weighed in on them.
