The agreement was signed by Trump and **Alphabet Inc.** (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOG) CEO **Sundar Pichai**, **Anthropic** CEO **Dario Amodei**, **Meta Platforms, Inc.** (NASDAQ:META) CEO **Mark Zuckerberg**, **OpenAI** president **Greg Brockman**, **Space Exploration Technologies Corp.** (NASDAQ:SPCX) xAI CEO **Elon Musk** and **Nvidia Corp.** (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO **Jensen Huang**, according to the document. *Source: Truth Social* While speaking with reporters, Trump described the pact as "morally binding," adding that companies should take responsibility for policing their own AI development. **Read Also:Anthropic IPO Prospectus Spends 80 Of 261 Pages On Risk, Warns AI Could Pose ‘Catastrophic or Existential Risks’ to Humanity** ## **What OpenAI, Anthropic and Others Agreed To** The accord outlines four layers of controls for companies developing frontier AI models. Companies are expected to establish internal systems to monitor AI capabilities and alignment during training and deployment, particularly for risks involving cybersecurity, biosecurity and chemical threats. They also agreed to use independent external auditors or evaluators to assess whether those safeguards are working as intended. A separate independent committee of each company’s board would oversee the process and receive reports from internal teams and outside auditors. Companies would also maintain internal teams responsible for ensuring their monitoring and detection systems continue to function properly. ## **Could AI Safety Rules Become Law** The accord leaves the door open to future regulation, stating that "it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations" over time. The participating companies also agreed to meet regularly to develop safety standards and best practices. Taking to **X**, Zuckerberg called the agreement a "significant positive step," saying multiple layers of audits and reviews could give the public more confidence in advanced AI systems. > I think it's a significant positive step that the leaders of every major American lab have committed to implementing robust internal controls and multiple layers of audits and reviews.
