Trump and tech CEOs sign 'morally binding' super-intelligence safety pact, launch America.gov

Donald Trump hosted a luncheon at the White House on Tuesday with six of the biggest names in technology, where they signed a voluntary safety accord he described as “morally binding” — a follow-up to his executive order rebranding artificial intelligence as “super intelligence”.

The executives who signed the “Joint Commitment On Frontier Responsibilities” were Elon Musk (SpaceX), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Sundar Pichai (Google), Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Dario Amodei (Anthropic) and Greg Brockman (OpenAI), Trump posted to Truth Social. The accord asks companies to maintain robust internal controls so models behave as intended, partner with external auditors, and ensure their models do not “hack or access technical systems in unintended ways”.

Trump acknowledged the deal is not legally enforceable — companies can choose their own evaluators and are not compelled to publish findings — calling it instead “almost like a constitution”. A board would be created to oversee AI safety, though Trump did not name its members. The published accord also drew attention for misspelling “United States” as “Unites States” under Trump’s signature.

Trump also unveiled America.gov, an AI-powered one-stop-shop for federal services, at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, and reiterated his support for data centre construction.
