President Donald Trump said top AI companies agreed to a voluntary accord to “self-police” their technologies, including internal and external reviews, following a White House meeting with leading executives. While vowing not to impose new guardrails that could slow development, Trump positioned the U.S. in a high-stakes race with China and touted an AI-powered federal portal, America.gov, to streamline access to services. Industry leaders—including executives from Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, Nvidia, Google, Meta and Microsoft—discussed safety practices and community pushback to new data centers, with suggestions of local benefits to ease opposition. The accord comes amid rising calls from some executives to pace development after incidents of AI agents going rogue, and as Washington and Beijing set up channels to manage AI-related risks.
