The leaders of six major AI companies have committed to implement stronger safeguards around the development of frontier AI systems under a voluntary agreement signed with President Donald Trump this week.
The White House Accord on Super Intelligence calls on the companies to establish internal safety controls, subject those measures to independent audits, and give their boards greater oversight of AI safety and security. The six companies are OpenAI, Google, Meta, Nvidia, xAI, and Anthropic.
A Joint Commitment on AI Governance
The joint commitment on frontier responsibilities is entirely voluntary and does not impose specific implementation deadlines on the participating companies. It comes amid growing concerns about AI safety, including warnings from executives at leading AI companies about the potential risks posed by increasingly capable frontier systems. The concerns range from potential misuse of AI for cyberattacks to the risks of deploying AI systems in sensitive areas such as chemical research, critical infrastructure, and other industries where errors or malicious use could have drastic consequences.
