Sara Dorn, Forbes; White House Releases ‘Accord’ Between Billionaire AI Execs: Here’s What It Says
"The White House released the text of an “accord” reached between billionaire AI titans who met with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, an agreement the president labeled “morally binding” even as he stopped short of saying the government would support new guardrails.
KEY FACTS
The “White House Accord on Super Intelligence” is just over 300 words and includes “four layers of controls and audits” companies voluntarily agreed to.
The first is implementing “robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment” of models in “areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways.”
The second component calls for internal teams to monitor systems and correct issues if needed, while the third calls for “an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended.”
The final guideline says companies should form “an independent committee of the board of directors” to receive reports from internal teams and external evaluators, and make necessary corrections in response.
The document’s final paragraph notes: “Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations.”
“United States” is misspelled as “Unites States” in Trump’s title below his signature.
