‘President of the Unites States’: White House’s AI accord includes spelling error

President Donald Trump and six prominent tech executives voluntarily signed an accord on Tuesday, pledging to responsibly develop artificial intelligence (AI). The White House, however, unfortunately included a spelling error in their commitment to "address widespread concerns." The president's signature appeared as "President of the Unites States" at the bottom of the document.

This misspelling remains unclear as to its origin or if it will be included in the Federal Register, the official database of presidential actions.

The accord, signed by AI executives from companies such as Anthropic, SpaceXAI, OpenAI, Nvidia, Meta, and Google, outlined four layers of "controls and audits" that companies would implement to ensure AI capabilities function as intended. These controls include internal safety measures and partnerships with independent external auditors. The accord is the first step in addressing concerns raised by industry experts, who have become increasingly wary of AI's rapid evolution and potential risks.

The White House's interpretation of the accord has been to view it as a success, with Trump attributing it to "tremendous self-policing" by the tech executives. However, the public has shown growing skepticism towards AI, with recent polls indicating that 61% of voters oppose the construction of datacenters and 71% believe the government is not doing enough to regulate AI development. The accord, while a step forward, has not yet led to formal regulations or laws, a stance Trump has consistently maintained.
