On September 30, 2026, United States President Donald Trump and the CEOs of major technology companies signed a landmark accord aimed at ensuring the safe development of frontier AI models.

The agreement, which includes Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI, and Nvidia, commits each company to implementing robust internal controls, establishing internal oversight teams, subjecting themselves to independent external audits, and maintaining an independent board oversight committee.
