White House AI Accord Contains Misspelling Under Trump’s Signature

Summary

A voluntary White House accord on artificial intelligence, signed by Donald Trump and six technology executives, contains a misspelling beneath Trump’s signature: “President of the Unites States.” It is unclear how the error occurred or whether the document will appear in that form in the Federal Register. The accord commits the signatories to developing AI safely amid concerns that the technology is advancing too quickly to control. It outlines four layers of controls and audits, including robust internal monitoring, independent external auditors or evaluators, and board-level oversight. The proposed checks would assess whether AI systems operate as intended and prevent them from accessing technical systems involved in cybersecurity, biosecurity and chemical threats. Trump has emphasized industry self-policing and has repeatedly opposed formal regulation, although the accord leaves open the possibility of turning its framework into regulations or laws. The signatories were Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Elon Musk of SpaceXAI, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta and Sundar Pichai of Google.
