  "account": "President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson previewed a forthcoming self-regulatory pact with AI frontier laboratories, according to reports. The exact details of the accord remain undisclosed, but the agreement is expected to address concerns surrounding enforcement and oversight. Speaker Johnson hinted at potential consequences for AI companies that do not meet the required standards during a White House meeting with over a dozen AI and technology executives. Trump emphasized the need for \"tremendous self-regulation\" in AI safety after the meeting, while Johnson described the upcoming industry pact as featuring \"robust internal controls and layers of internal and external review.\" Johnson also mentioned that Congress would maintain a diligent approach to AI regulation. The White House simultaneously launched an AI-powered website, America.gov, to facilitate easier access to government services. Trump further stated that both the Justice Department and FBI would manage any regulatory matters concerning AI, and he was set to issue an executive order replacing \"artificial intelligence\" with \"superintelligence\" in official communications. As bipartisan concerns about AI grow, amid increasing AI incidents, global governments are calling for collaborative policy-making.",
