President Donald Trump announced a voluntary agreement signed by CEOs from Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Nvidia, xAI, and others, pledging to self-regulate AI development through internal and external reviews. The accord, revealed after a White House meeting, sets out steps like implementing robust internal controls, engaging independent audits, and board-level oversight, with potential future legal codification. Trump praised AI’s economic benefits but acknowledged risks highlighted by experts like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who advocates caution. Amidst bipartisan opposition to data centers fueling AI infrastructure, the agreement includes commitments to community support. Trump also introduced an AI chatbot to enhance government services and rejected limiting AI growth, viewing it as a critical U.S. advantage in global competition, particularly against China.
