Trump and major AI executives sign "morally binding" voluntary controls
President Trump and the leaders of the country's largest artificial intelligence companies have signed a set of voluntary safety standards, as calls mount for tighter guardrails on powerful AI technology.
President Trump and prominent artificial intelligence executives have collectively signed a set of voluntary safety measures aimed at regulating the development of advanced AI technology, according to a statement released on Tuesday. The accord was forged during a lunch meeting at the White House, with the President alongside notables such as SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the group had presented a "joint commitment" and "statement of principles" that would hold the participating companies to "robust internal controls." While Mr. Trump was asked if the deal was legally binding, he responded that it was "morally binding." The President further elaborated on the vision for self-regulation, noting, "I think I'm seeing tremendous self-policing, and they understand that they have to self-police."
This development comes as there is growing pressure for more stringent controls over AI technology. The story remains a breaking news item, and updates are expected.
