Amid growing anxiety regarding the safety of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence systems, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday convened top technology executives at the White House and placed his confidence in their ability to govern themselves.
Following the meeting, the president stated that the tech leaders had committed to a “morally binding” agreement to implement adequate safety measures and build safeguards into their rapidly evolving creations. “They’re going to police themselves,” Trump told reporters after the session concluded.
The gathering highlights the administration’s current approach to AI governance, which prioritizes industry self-regulation over strict government oversight as the technology advances at an unprecedented pace.
