On September 29, 2026, President Donald Trump introduced the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. This voluntary agreement requires major AI developers to implement four layers of oversight for advanced models, including internal deployment controls, dedicated monitoring teams, independent external audits, and board-level safety committees.
The document was signed by executives from Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI, and Nvidia, with Amazon leadership also in attendance. The accord carries no legal force and lacks enforcement mechanisms or penalties for non-compliance, reflecting a policy preference for industry self-regulation over formal government mandates.
Concurrent with the accord, the administration issued an executive order mandating that the term artificial intelligence be replaced with super intelligence in all federal documentation. The initiative aims to address public concerns regarding AI safety while maintaining the competitive speed of US technology companies.
