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.
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 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.'
President Trump told reporters he signed a document asserting that artificial intelligence has been 'officially' renamed 'super intelligence,' claiming it was endorsed by tech executives gathered at a White House lunch. When asked whether the document carries any binding force, Trump said it is 'morally binding,' though the White House did not clarify further details about its contents or legal status.
President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson hosted a lunch at the White House with leading technology executives to discuss artificial intelligence. A seating chart shared by Trump showed Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Elon Musk seated beside the president, with Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Google's Sundar Pichai nearby, while Jeff Bezos sat opposite alongside Vice President JD Vance. Palantir CEO Alex Karp told reporters outside that tech leaders must take responsibility for known AI risks and that Americans don't want separate rules for the industry versus the public.
President Trump announced the launch of America.gov, an AI chatbot designed to help citizens find government services and information across federal websites. Google confirmed it is a partner and that its Gemini model powers part of the tool, though it remains unclear whether other AI companies are involved.

A former Defected Records executive describes how the house-music label's marketing strategy relied on content produced after its parties, not just the events themselves. Attendees' shaky iPhone footage, DJ set playlists, and social media reactions posted in the days following an event were compiled and used to promote future events.
Rep. Ro Khanna, top Democrat on the House Select Committee on China, sent letters to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and to DeepSeek, Alibaba, and Moonshot AI. He asked ODNI to assess US readiness for an AI system losing control, similar to an OpenAI agent incident involving Hugging Face, and to evaluate China's approach to catastrophic AI risk. He also asked the three Chinese companies for documentation on their pursuit of 'superintelligence,' recursive self-improvement, and any safety safeguards.
White House officials attempted to persuade the U.S. Postal Service to adopt a policy requiring mail-in ballots to be sent via Certified Mail, a service that involves identity verification steps for postal workers handling the mail. The proposal would have added a new layer of processing to how mail-in votes are collected and delivered.
