President Trump and the CEOs of Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI, and Nvidia signed a voluntary accord at the White House pledging internal controls, monitoring teams, independent external audits, and board-level oversight committees for frontier AI systems. The accord is explicitly non-binding and does not specify which third-party auditors will conduct evaluations, though it acknowledges future government regulation may still be warranted. Critics called the self-policing approach insufficient, with one expert estimating it might reduce AI risk by only about 1 percent.
