US President Donald Trump signed a voluntary agreement with the leading technology executives on Tuesday to strengthen safety measures and manage risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent further disaster.
The pact was announced during a White House luncheon hosted by Trump for top industry figures. The deal, named the 'Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities', includes commitments from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI, and Nvidia.
The signatory executives are Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Sundar Pichai of Google, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia.
Under the agreement, the companies pledged to establish robust monitoring systems for AI models. They committed to forming internal teams to oversee control systems, detect flaws, and address identified issues.
The tech firms also agreed to collaborate with independent third-party auditors to verify safety protocols. Additionally, they plan to hold regular meetings to set standards and best practices for AI security.
However, the contract does not specify who will conduct the third-party evaluations. It notes that these measures could eventually be incorporated into formal laws or regulations.
The agreement comes amid skepticism from the Trump administration regarding government regulation of rapidly evolving AI technology. Trump stated that existing agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI already provide oversight.
The move also highlights divisions between Washington and international bodies calling for stricter AI regulation. Last week, 20 countries and the European Union called for global coordination and a potential international oversight body to keep AI under human control.
Trump rejected those calls at the UN General Assembly, stating his administration will not support global frameworks for AI governance. He also dismissed calls to slow AI development, emphasizing the need for the US to maintain its technological lead over China.
