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