US President Donald Trump has announced that major technology executives have signed a voluntary agreement to strengthen safety measures for artificial intelligence, which his administration is now referring to as “Super Intelligence” or “SI”.
The announcement came after Trump met top technology leaders at the White House on Tuesday, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI President Greg Brockman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and xAI CEO Elon Musk were also among the signatories.
Trump described the agreement as “morally binding” and said the companies would effectively police themselves. However, the accord is voluntary and does not create a legal obligation for the companies. It leaves open the possibility of turning its measures into laws or regulations in the future.
The White House Accord on Super Intelligence calls for companies developing advanced AI models to establish robust internal safety controls, internal oversight teams, independent external audits and board-level committees to review safety reports.
Trump also signed an executive order directing federal agencies to use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in official communications and other non-statutory documents. The White House said the new terminology was intended to reflect the rapidly advancing capabilities of the technology.
The agreement comes amid growing concerns over the safety and potential risks of increasingly powerful AI systems, while the Trump administration has emphasised technological development and US leadership in the sector.
