.@finkd on today's White House Accord on developing Super Intelligence safely: "We want to give the American people and our customers confidence that the technology works in the way we intended." https://t.co/qvWeAQxnGn

Only President Trump could convene all the leaders of the top companies developing chips, data centers and frontier models for Super Intelligence. This new Industrial Revolution has already created a million new jobs and is spurring a bigger infrastructure build-out than the railroads, canals and grid combined. I was honored to witness history as the leaders of the frontier lab companies signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, accepting responsibility for the safe development of their products and imposing new internal controls and external audits. This is far better than waiting years for some international agreement that would probably never happen. President Trump continues to ensure that U.S. remains the technology leader while putting Americans first.

🚨 JUST NOW: Elon Musk and Jensen Huang give an INSIDE LOOK at the big meeting between top AI firms and President Trump today, saying they'll now be "grading each other's homework" 😆

@elonmusk: "We signed a JOINT DECLARATION regarding SI safety, and I think that'll be published by the White House soon."

"We agreed to a number of things that include a joint monitoring board, special committees, and just generally grading each other's homework, which is a LOT better than if people just grade their OWN homework, for obvious reasons." 😂

NVIDIA CEO @JensenHuang: "I thought the declaration has a LOT of teeth. I thought it was REALLY well written."

"It includes everything from rigorous internal controls, well established methods, well established processes, very clearly documented intentions of the products that you're building, internal controls to make sure that you're delivering on those intentions, internal audit that escalates, external audits from a third party, and then industry sharing best practices."

"POTUS pulled it all together. He watched over the meeting, and was able to bring EVERYBODY out."

I think it's a significant positive step that the leaders of every major American lab have committed to implementing robust internal controls and multiple layers of audits and reviews. This should give people more confidence that the technology each lab is building will work as intended.

Great to meet today with @POTUS, @JDVance, @SpeakerJohnson and Administration + tech leaders. Important conversation and we signed today the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.

As I shared today, Google has invested hundreds of billions in the last two years alone, with more to come, across the entire stack, to deliver benefits for America and the world. We’re working to build products that deliver real value for people and businesses, invest in local communities, and build trust in the technology.

Industry also has to innovate responsibly. Google’s focused on building the right way, with appropriate testing, evaluations, red-teaming, and other safeguards against misuse and misalignment – and releasing models or products only after they’ve been thoroughly reviewed.

We are committed to working with other industry leaders to establish norms and build public confidence. The White House Accord and the Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities signed today is a solid basis for moving forward - it contains real tangible steps to promote safe development, while delivering the economic and scientific benefits of this technology.

Yesterday at the White House, leaders from across our industry came together to sign the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.

The principle is simple: the companies building this technology have the primary responsibility to develop and deploy it safely, and to be accountable when they fall short.

The Accord reinforces that responsibility with robust internal controls, independent external evaluation, and board level oversight.

Super Intelligence offers an extraordinary opportunity to advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity.

The future of Super Intelligence will be shaped not only by what it can do, but by the confidence it earns. By building with ambition, rigor, and responsibility, we can help ensure this extraordinary technology expands opportunity and improves lives for generations to come.
