Published AI accord asks for auditors and board oversight

The one-page text sets four layers of voluntary checks for the six signing companies. It has no deadlines, and says the steps may one day become law.

Late on September 29, President Trump released the text of the AI accord that leaders of six AI companies signed at the White House. It asks each company to watch its models for dangers such as cyber and biological threats, to hire an independent auditor, and to have an independent board committee oversee the checks. The companies will “meet regularly” to set standards.
