Trump and tech executives reportedly sign voluntary AI safety accord

Trump and tech executives reportedly signed a voluntary AI safety accord at the White House on September 29. CNBC describes a two-page document titled White House Accord on Super Intelligence: Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities. Its four safeguards call for internal model monitoring, an internal team to check the controls, outside auditors or evaluators, and an independent board committee to oversee the team. Trump described the rules as morally binding. CNBC reports that the document leaves open the possibility of putting these steps into laws or regulations later; it does not establish that the safeguards have been implemented.
