President Donald Trump said Tuesday at the White House that leaders of artificial intelligence companies signed a voluntary agreement for companies to oversee their AI development, including internal and external reviews.

Axios reported that OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI and Nvidia signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. Trump described the agreement as “morally binding,” according to Axios. NPR reported that the accord calls on participating companies to self-police their development work.

The agreement centers on voluntary industry action rather than requirements described in the reports. Axios said its terms include continuing development, promoting optimism and company-led oversight. The reports did not provide a timetable for the reviews or further implementation details.
