U.S. President Donald Trump and prominent executives from Google, Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI, Nvidia, and SpaceX signed an artificial intelligence agreement described as "ethically binding".
The agreement calls for internal controls on the development of AI models, external auditing, and placing the work under oversight by boards of directors.
The move brings together, for the first time, this number of major industry players under a single voluntary commitment, as competition to develop more capable AI systems is accelerating.
The question remains open as to how effective the ethical pledge will be in the absence of a legally binding enforcement mechanism, especially given the differing interests of the signatory companies.
