WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump and top tech executives on Wednesday have signed a White House accord promising greater safeguards, independent audits and board-level oversight as they develop and deploy advanced ‘super intelligence’ systems, amid growing concerns that the frontier technology is exposing humanity to catastrophic risks.

The voluntary accord was announced by Donald Trump on Tuesday after gathering leaders of America’s most powerful technology companies at the White House for a luncheon event that reaffirmed his administration’s skepticism of government regulation of the rapidly advancing technology, reports said.

Other six signatories are Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, Google’s Sundar Pichai, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, xAI’s Elon Musk as well as Nvidia’s Jensen Huang.

US President and others shared details regarding the 4-tier pact on social media, many users pointed out how the White House misspelled “United” on the official ‘super intelligence’ document under Trump’s signature.

Instead of “President of the United States,” the document read, “President of the Unites States.”

An X user quipped that Trump is going to sign an executive order “renaming us the ‘Unites States’ now”.

Another user suggested a “better proof reading next time”.

Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg called it as “the White House accord” on developing the technology safely providing a clear explanation of the agreement,.

“The basic idea is that we wanna give the American people and our customers confidence that the technology works in the way that we intend,” Zuckerberg said.

He said companies had agreed on “principles and commitments” that included robust internal controls and mechanisms to detect problems, media reported.

The safeguards would be accompanied by “multiple layers” of auditing and oversight, he said, beginning with internal risk reviews and extending to outside auditors and evaluators.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai called the moment “historic and consequential,” said the industry recognized both the potential benefits and risks.

“We have to make sure we are addressing the risks, and the president has asked us as an industry to step up,” he said.

Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic, further cautioned that the technology presented risks even as he emphasised its potential.

“AI has incredible benefits… But I think the technology has very real risks,” he stated.

He added, “The mechanism, how we address those risks is still under discussion. But we all need to work, we all need to work together to make sure that we can win and we can win safely.”

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang noted that safety and technological progress were not incompatible.

“There’s no conflict between innovation, technology and safety. We’re gonna advance this technology that is so consequential to humanity and so consequential to the future prosperity of our nation, and we’re gonna do it responsibly and safely,” he added.
