The White House Accord on Super Intelligence
What was supposed to be a meeting on AI safety and accountability has become a broad and problematic endorsement of self-regulation | Edition #328
The Trump administration met with leaders of major AI companies, renaming AI to “Super Intelligence” (SI) and signing the “White House Accord on Super Intelligence.” This accord outlines a voluntary framework for self-regulation, including internal controls, external audits, and board oversight, intended to ensure AI technology behaves as intended and is developed safely. However, critics argue the accord is non-binding, uses vague language, lacks transparency, and ultimately prioritizes corporate interests over public safety.
