White House aides say they are increasingly worried about the 2026 midterms, with national polling showing a historically low 37 percent approval rating for Trump in a Wall Street Journal survey. Trump has told aides he believes Republicans could still outperform expectations, citing internal polling showing narrower deficits in individual House races, while some advisers privately predict heavy losses. Officials reportedly began seeking foreign policy wins, including a US-Denmark agreement on Greenland and a touted Venezuela oil deal, to help drive midterm turnout.
Executives from Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, xAI and Nvidia signed the 'White House Accord on Super Intelligence' at a luncheon hosted by President Trump. The pact asks companies to build internal safety controls, empower internal safety teams, partner with external monitors for independent assessment, and have board committees track the work, but it carries no binding regulatory force.
The Trump administration unveiled America.gov, a free chatbot meant to consolidate roughly 29,000 government websites into a single tool answering questions about tasks like applying for a passport, registering to vote, or tracking a tax refund. The bot, powered by Google's Gemini and xAI's Grok, currently only provides guidance and directs users to relevant forms and sites rather than processing personal information, though officials say it will handle form submissions and applications like Medicare enrollment next year. Users quickly tested the chatbot and found it gave answers—such as confirming Joe Biden won the 2020 election and that climate change is real—that contradict statements made by Trump and his administration.
The Trump administration launched America.gov, an AI chatbot Trump called 'one of the most revolutionary product launches of all time.' Social media users have since pointed out that the chatbot's responses to questions about the United States are factual and neutral, sometimes contradicting Trump's own claims or framing.
President Trump unveiled a voluntary agreement in which leading AI companies pledge to adopt internal safety controls, dedicated safety teams, independent audits and board-level oversight committees. Signatories include Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Sundar Pichai, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, SpaceX's Elon Musk and OpenAI's Greg Brockman. Trump described the accord as 'morally binding' rather than legally enforceable, with no mechanism to compel compliance.
President Trump met with executives including Sundar Pichai, Dario Amodei, Mark Zuckerberg, Greg Brockman, Elon Musk and Jensen Huang to sign a 'Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.' The document commits companies to internal safety controls, internal oversight teams, independent external audits, and board-level committees to monitor AI risks like cybersecurity and biosecurity threats.
President Trump convened executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia and other firms at the White House, where they agreed to voluntary AI safety standards including independent audits and safeguards against AI systems hacking other technical systems. Trump also endorsed continued rapid expansion of AI data centers despite concerns about electricity demand and costs to local communities, floated a 10-member oversight board, and directed agencies to use the term 'super intelligence' instead of 'artificial intelligence.'
President Trump and AI industry leaders including Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Anthropic's Dario Amodei signed a voluntary 'Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities' pledging safety controls for AI development. A photo of the signed document posted by Trump to Truth Social shows 'United States' spelled as 'Unites States' directly beneath his signature, while other signatories' names and companies are spelled correctly.
President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to stop using the terms 'artificial intelligence' and 'AI' and instead use 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' wherever legally possible. The order, issued after a White House lunch with AI industry leaders, argues that today's AI capabilities have outgrown the original terminology coined 70 years ago.
President Trump hosted executives from Alphabet, Meta, SpaceX, Nvidia, Palantir, Anthropic, OpenAI and other firms at a White House lunch, where they signed a two-page 'Accord on Super Intelligence' committing companies to develop AI safely on their own terms. The document does not create any binding government oversight, and Trump has previously dismissed AI safety fears as a 'hoax.'
During a press scrum following a meeting with tech executives including Jeff Bezos, Dario Amodei and Elon Musk, a reporter asked President Trump why he has called AI safety concerns a 'hoax.' White House staffers quickly ended the event and moved to clear reporters from the room as the question was asked.
President Trump signed an executive order on September 29 creating America.gov, a new AI-powered chatbot portal meant to help citizens find and navigate federal government websites and services. The tool acts as a guide to existing services rather than a replacement for them.
