Trump backs voluntary AI safety deal, rejects government guardrails
Trump signed a voluntary deal with tech executives on AI safety. He called it morally binding. He rejected calls for government regulation.
Trump stood with tech leaders outside the White House, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Trump said the deal ensures companies develop AI safely.
Trump called the commitment morally binding. Under the deal, companies agreed to develop controls to stop AI systems from running wild.
The deal uses measures labs had already adopted. It falls short of government rules that some experts say are needed as AI advances.
Democrats opposed the approach. Senator Mark Warner said renaming AI as superintelligence does nothing to address real dangers from increasingly powerful systems.

AustraliaAustralian tech companies and AI developers watch US policy direction closely, as it influences global standards and investment.
