  "account": "On September 30, 2026, President Donald Trump released an artificial intelligence accord through his Truth Social platform, asserting it was signed by him and tech executives he met in Washington. The one-page document, described as \"morally binding,\" outlined four layers of controls for companies in the AI sector. The accord called for companies to collaborate with external auditors to assess the effectiveness of their AI control and monitoring systems. It also suggested the creation of an independent board committee to oversee and receive reports from both internal and external auditors, as well as teams operating AI controls. Companies were asked to implement internal controls to monitor AI model capabilities and alignment, particularly in areas such as cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats to ensure models did not pose unintended risks. The White House accord, signed by Trump and the leaders of Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, X, and NVIDIA, indicated that these controls and audits could potentially lead to the codification of such steps into laws or regulations. The participating companies committed to regularly meeting to establish standards and best practices to enhance the safety of their AI systems.",
