US President Trump meets with AI company leaders and signs voluntary safety management document

[Washington Current Affairs] On the 29th, US President Trump held a meeting at the White House with leaders of US artificial intelligence (AI) companies. Trump signed a document with leaders regarding the "responsibility" of companies in the development of AI. In the document, the AI ​​company emphasized that it would "introduce a robust internal control system to monitor the capabilities of its models." Participating companies will hold regular meetings to improve safety.

"Each company has a responsibility to develop its technology safely and in a manner that builds trust with customers and society," the document states. ``Implementing controls and audits is critical to ensuring a safe future for everyone,'' he said, pledging to implement them.

The document listed voluntary efforts by companies to manage risk. Companies collaborate with external auditors and others to assess whether their management and detection systems are functioning. An independent committee has been established on the board of directors, and it has been specified that corrections will be made if any problems arise.

Trump told reporters that the document was "morally binding." The company announced that it is considering establishing a committee to monitor industry trends. Mr. Trump has consistently opposed stricter regulations.

The document was signed by six people who attended the meeting, including Anthropic CEO Amodei, Open AI CEO Brockman, Google CEO Pichai, and semiconductor giant Nvidia CEO Huang.

"There is very strong voluntary oversight and they understand that they have to monitor themselves," Trump said.

Trump also signed an executive order on the 29th mandating the use of "superintelligence" (SI) rather than AI in government documents.
