Trump says AI bosses signed ‘morally binding’ commitment to self-regulate their technology

US President Donald Trump announced that top tech executives have signed a "morally binding" agreement to regulate their artificial intelligence technology. The accord, called the "Joint Commitment On Frontier Responsibilities," aims to establish safety standards for powerful AI systems. According to Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, the agreement seeks to assure customers that AI technology "works in the way that we intend."

The agreement was signed by six tech executives and is not legally enforceable. Trump described it as a form of protection, similar to a constitution. He also signed an executive order rebranding "artificial intelligence" as "superintelligence," which will be used in official correspondence and public communications within the executive branch.

The agreement outlines a vague framework for AI firms to establish safety standards as they test new products. According to The Guardian US, Trump suggested that the agreement would allow companies to perform "tremendous self-policing" of their products and technologies.
