Prominent tech CEOs sign voluntary White House AI safety accord

Five prominent tech CEOs have signed a voluntary White House AI safety accord. President Donald Trump shared the document on Truth Social. It is known as the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. The accord was signed by Jensen Huang, Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, and Greg Brockman. They stated that each company is responsible for developing its technology safely and building trust with customers.

The accord urges AI developers to adopt four safety best practices. Several of these practices have already been implemented by the six companies. The first recommendation is that AI labs create robust internal controls to track model capabilities and ensure alignment with safety requirements. The second focus is on organizational structure, suggesting dedicated teams manage safety controls and appoint external auditors to verify their effectiveness.

Boards should also have a role in AI safety initiatives. The accord's final recommendation is to form an independent board committee to oversee model controls teams and review auditor reports. The White House plans to establish a 10-person AI safety committee and appoint an "AI czar" by the end of the week. An executive order will require federal agencies to refer to AI as Super Intelligence in official documents.
