The signatures gathered at the White House on Sept. 29 offer a revealing picture of where artificial intelligence governance stands today. U.S. President Donald Trump and representatives of Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI and Nvidia signed the “White House Accord on Super Intelligence.” The accord proposes four layers of oversight: robust internal controls, internal verification, independent external evaluation and independent board oversight. Cybersecurity, biological and chemical risks feature prominently. The text also leaves open the possibility that these recommendations could eventually become law.
