President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that artificial intelligence leaders who met him at the White House had signed a "constitution" for self-regulation called "The White House Accord on Superintelligence." The voluntary accord, signed by executives from Meta, Google, Amazon, OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia and other companies, outlines principles for internal controls, audits and transparency but carries no legal enforcement mechanism. Trump indicated the administration may form a committee to oversee the industry's AI development.
The accord emphasizes each company's responsibility to implement controls and third-party audits, though OpenAI and Anthropic have already committed to similar measures. House Speaker Mike Johnson characterized the agreement as a "statement of principles and standards" while acknowledging Congress would continue guiding industry development. Trump stressed the arrangement is "morally" binding and that the tech industry will be "self-policing," though no formal regulatory structure was detailed.
