President Trump has signed a "White House Accord on [Artificial] Intelligence" with major technology executives, including Dario Amodei of Anthropic, marking a shift toward voluntary self-regulation in the sector. The agreement emphasizes robust internal controls and external auditing rather than legislative mandates.

  • The accord includes voluntary commitments, layers of internal and external review, and robust internal control mechanisms.
  • Key signatories include leaders from Meta, xAI, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon, alongside Anthropic and OpenAI.
  • Speaker Johnson described the framework as a joint commitment to guide industry development safely.

The White House characterizes the document as "morally binding," aiming to establish guardrails while maintaining a pro-AI development trajectory.
