Here's how tech leaders will self-police AI safety under Trump's deal

President Trump announced a "morally binding" AI safety deal called the "Joint Commitment On Frontier Responsibilities," shared online by tech founder and presidential advisor David Sacks. The agreement was signed by Google's Sundar Pichai, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI's Greg Brockman, XAI's Elon Musk, and Nvidia's Jensen Huang. It outlines four rules: implementing robust internal controls to monitor model capabilities and alignment during training and deployment; empowering an internal team to ensure controls operate as intended; partnering with independent external auditors for independent assessments; and designating a board-level independent committee for oversight. The document acknowledges that "over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations." However, the rules are largely vague, lack penalties for violations, and amount to little more than a "pinky promise" — especially since Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic recently had their AIs hack other companies' and government websites, violating the first rule. Trump simultaneously ordered the US government to refer to AI as "Super Intelligence" going forward, reasoning that "artificial" sounds bad and "super is the best word of all." He also signed the agreement with his title listed as "President of the Unites States."
