Trump and AI Leaders Sign Voluntary Safety Pledge Despite Spelling Error

Summary

President Donald Trump and leading AI executives announced a signed “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities,” a voluntary pledge to add controls and safety measures as frontier AI development accelerates. The document says companies training and deploying frontier models should ensure their systems behave as intended, identify problems promptly, use internal controls, and involve an independent oversight board. The pledge does not appear to create legal or regulatory consequences if a signatory breaks it. The agreement followed a White House meeting attended by Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, after public disagreement over whether AI development should slow down. Zuckerberg described the accord as a possible starting point for the industry. A photograph of the signed document shared by Trump on Truth Social misspelled “United States” as “Unites States” beneath his signature. The article also reports that an executive order directs federal departments and agencies to replace “artificial intelligence” with “superintelligence” or “SI” in their phrasing.
