Summary
President Donald Trump hosted executives from Alphabet, Meta, SpaceX, Nvidia, Palantir, Anthropic, OpenAI and other companies at the White House on September 29, 2026. They signed a two-page document titled "White House Accord on Super Intelligence: Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities," which calls for internal model monitoring, internal control-checking teams, outside auditors or evaluators, and an independent board committee. Trump said the rules are "morally binding" and that they may later be codified into laws or regulations.
Mitigation
The document calls for each company to establish "robust" internal monitoring of models, have an internal team that ensures the controls are working, partner with outside auditors or evaluators, and designate an independent committee of the board to oversee the internal team.
