Pledge signed by President Trump and top AI leaders misspells the United States
4 hours ago
- President Trump and top AI leaders announced a voluntary 'Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities' to add AI safety controls.
- The signed document shared by Trump contained a misspelling: 'United States' was written as 'Unites States'.
- The spelling error appeared beneath the president's signature, while other signatories and companies were spelled correctly.
- The pledge came after AI leaders met at the White House, following earlier calls from figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk to slow AI development.
- Trump and Nvidia's Jensen Huang rejected calls for deceleration, with Trump saying whoever wins AI wins.
- The pledge asks companies to ensure frontier AI technology behaves as intended, promptly identify issues, and use independent oversight and internal controls.
- The pledge is voluntary and appears to carry no legal or regulatory consequences if broken.
- Mark Zuckerberg called the accord a 'start' and a 'historic conversation.'
- Trump also issued an executive order requiring government agencies to use the phrase 'superintelligence' or 'SI' instead of 'artificial intelligence.'
