Trump says AI companies agree to 'self-police'
Donald Trump said the US won't "stifle" the development of AI, which he sees as "bigger than the Industrial Revolution." The agreement comes amid mounting concerns over AI safety after recent hacking incidents.
President Donald Trump met with CEOs of major Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies at the White House on Tuesday, where he announced an accord for these firms to self-police the development of the technology. Trump expressed his continued support for AI, despite growing concerns over its risks and expanding presence in society, particularly with the rise of data centers.
Prior to the meeting, Trump reiterated his stance against limiting AI development or implementing restrictions, stating he would never stifle the growth of a technology that will be larger than the industrial revolution. After the meeting, Trump renamed AI as "super intelligence" and posted the White House Accord on Super Intelligence on his Truth Social platform.
According to the accord, AI companies agree to implement robust internal controls, empower an internal team to oversee control, monitoring, and detection, partner with an independent external auditor, and designate an independent committee of the board to oversee these matters. Trump described the accord as morally binding but not legally enforceable.
The meeting included top AI executives such as Dario Amodei from Anthropic, Greg Brockman from OpenAI, Jeff Bezos from Amazon, Elon Musk of X, Jensen Huang from Nvidia, Sundar Pichai from Google, Mark Zuckerberg from Meta, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
