Trump Says AI Companies Agree to 'Self-Police'
Donald Trump said the U.S. won't "stifle" AI development, which he sees as "bigger than the Industrial Revolution."
President Donald Trump met with top AI executives at the White House on Tuesday, stating that the group had signed an accord to self-police the development of artificial intelligence technology. Trump, who advocates for unregulated AI growth, believes the technology will surpass even the Industrial Revolution. The accord, known as the "White House Accord on Super Intelligence," requires AI companies to implement internal controls and partner with independent external auditors to ensure safety and public trust.
The meeting included AI leaders such as Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Greg Brockman, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, whose X social media platform features its own AI model Grok, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Google's Sundar Pichai, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella. Trump emphasized the importance of AI companies self-regulating, stating, "I think I'm seeing tremendous self-policing."
The accord obligates companies to develop their technology responsibly, with a focus on trust-building and customer safety. While the agreement is morally binding, it is not legally enforceable, leaving the door open for future laws or regulations. Trump announced the official renaming of AI technology to "super intelligence," arguing that it is not artificial.
