What happened
Donald Trump and Joseph Aoun met at the White House to sign a voluntary AI safety pact aimed at accelerating American AI leadership. The agreement was signed by Trump and executives representing Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Nvidia, and xAI. The pact requires four layers of safeguards: internal controls, oversight teams, independent external auditing, and board-level review, alongside regular cooperation on safety standards.

Why it matters
The accord establishes industry-wide self-policing measures for frontier AI systems, which Donald Trump described as 'morally binding.' The pact is positioned as a way to accelerate American AI leadership while avoiding excessive state regulation that could slow innovation or discourage investment.
