Five tech chief executives signed a voluntary AI safety accord backed by the White House and posted by President Donald Trump on Truth Social.
AI brief
President Trump and tech leaders including Mark Zuckerberg, Greg Brockman, Jensen Huang and Elon Musk signed an AI code of conduct at the White House that is only "morally binding." Outside auditors are supposed to check whether models work as intended.
Why it matters: The code relies on voluntary, morally binding commitments and outside auditors rather than enforceable rules.
