OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia and other technology companies agreed to voluntary safeguards including internal controls and independent reviews.
President Trump and executives from several of the world’s largest artificial-intelligence companies announced a voluntary AI safety agreement Tuesday following a White House meeting with technology leaders.
Executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google and Nvidia were among those participating.
The agreement calls on companies to build stronger internal controls and work with independent auditors to evaluate whether advanced AI systems operate as intended.
The companies also agreed to take steps aimed at preventing their AI systems from accessing or compromising technical systems in unintended ways.
Agreement Is Voluntary
The accord does not create a new federal law or regulation.
President Trump described the agreement as “morally binding” and said the companies would largely police their own compliance.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said participating companies agreed to develop robust internal controls.
President Trump also said he is considering creating a 10-person board focused on AI safety, although membership and authority for such a board have not been announced.
AI Growth and Data Centers
The White House meeting also focused on the rapid expansion of data centers needed to train and operate advanced AI systems.
Supporters view new AI infrastructure as an important source of investment and technological leadership. Communities hosting large data centers have also raised concerns about electricity demand, utility costs and other local impacts.
The voluntary accord arrives as policymakers continue debating how much government regulation should accompany increasingly capable AI systems.
