Trump, AI majors pledge AI safety; experts flag lack of enforcement
Accord calls for internal controls, independent audits and board oversight, but experts flag weak enforcement, lack of common safety standards and concerns over auditor independence
U.S. President Donald Trump and leaders of six prominent tech firms have agreed to a voluntary set of guidelines for ensuring the safe development of advanced artificial intelligence. The pact, named the "White House Accord on Super Intelligence: Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities", outlines a multi-tiered system of oversight, including internal checks, external evaluations, and board-level governance.
It covers measures such as monitoring model capabilities, independent audits, and the formation of oversight boards to ensure AI systems behave as intended and do not pose security risks. However, critics argue the framework lacks concrete enforcement mechanisms and could be undermined by commercial pressures.
