President Donald Trump convened leading AI executives at the White House to sign a voluntary, “morally binding” accord to bolster internal safeguards, while issuing an executive order directing federal agencies to refer to artificial intelligence as “Super Intelligence” and draft definitions for federal law. The moves come amid intensifying scrutiny of the sector: the FTC is investigating top labs over potential consumer risks and senators are probing “rogue” AI threats to critical infrastructure. Industry competition is accelerating, with Google unveiling a larger Gemini 4 “Argon” model and OpenAI launching autonomous “Dots” agents, even as Reuters reported Anthropic is eyeing a November IPO that could value the firm as high as $2 trillion. Abroad, the U.K.’s MI5 warned of Chinese espionage targeting Western tech and AI research, underscoring rising geopolitical stakes around advanced systems.
