White House Accord on Super Intelligence Signed by AI Leaders

WASHINGTON — Leaders in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or what President Donald Trump has dubbed “Super Intelligence,” gathered on Tuesday to sign the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. House Speaker Mike Johnson described the initiative as a collective commitment from these companies to implement “robust internal controls and layers of internal and external review.”

During a brief press gathering outside the West Wing, Johnson shared details about the document while standing alongside notable figures like Elon Musk from xAI, Mark Zuckerberg from Meta, Dario Amodei from Anthropic, Jensen Huang from Nvidia, among others.

This press event followed a prolonged private luncheon that included Johnson, Trump, various cabinet officials, and the executives in attendance.

According to Johnson, “The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future. They can and will do that, and they are ready to stand behind that commitment.” He added that these leaders expressed their willingness to take accountability, and that they’ve signed a new document, which would be circulated later.

He explained that the agreement is called the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, containing a set of principles and voluntary commitments for the industry. It outlines expectations, emphasizing the need for robust internal controls and thorough reviews. “Oversight and transparency are crucial, and that’s what these leaders are prepared to deliver,” he noted.

Johnson also mentioned that both Congress and the White House would play key roles in guiding the safe development of the AI industry.

Trump compared the Accord to a “constitution,” stating, “We had a great — really a great great meeting. It was something very, very special.”

He remarked about the executives, saying, “They love our country, they love the world. They came together, and they did something … it’s almost like a constitution in a way … and the biggest people in the world signed that, and I signed it as president, and it really is a form of protection.”

Zuckerberg referred to the internal controls and layered reviews as “good steps.” He added, “But I think what we can all agree on is that the American public and our customers want to know that what we’re building is working in the way that we all intend. So, we drafted a set of principles and commitments around building robust internal controls and detecting if there are any issues with the technology.” He went on to emphasize the importance of multiple layers of oversight, starting from internal reviews to independent evaluations. “I think that these are good steps forward. It’s just a start, but a significant accord that the entire industry can support.”

Additionally, Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to officially rebrand Artificial Intelligence as Super Intelligence.
