{{/usCountry}}Trump and several technology executives also signed the voluntary “White House Accord on Super Intelligence.”
Under the agreement, participating companies pledged to establish “robust internal controls” for managing AI risks. They also agreed to work with independent external auditors to assess those controls and create board-level committees to review reports from both internal and external auditors.
The accord says these measures could eventually be incorporated into laws and regulations.
Trump described the agreement as nonbinding but compared it to "almost like a constitution."
“It’s almost like a constitution in a way, and the biggest and the biggest people in the world signed that, and I signed it as president, and it really is a form of protection,” he said.
Signatories included Trump, Huang, Musk, Zuckerberg, Pichai, Amodei, and Brockman.
