Trump, AI leaders sign pledge with misspelled "United States"

President Donald Trump and leaders from major AI companies signed a voluntary pledge on Tuesday aimed at implementing more controls and safety measures for rapidly advancing artificial intelligence. The agreement, titled "Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities," was shared by the President on Truth Social, but a notable misspelling of "United States" as "Unites States" was present beneath his signature.

The gathering at the White House included executives such as Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and Anthropic's Dario Amodei. This meeting followed recent calls from figures like OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Amodei for a slowdown in AI development, a stance rejected by Trump and Huang. Trump emphasized the importance of maintaining US technological leadership, stating, "whoever wins AI, wins."

The pledge outlines voluntary commitments for companies developing frontier AI models, focusing on ensuring technology behaves as intended and that issues are promptly addressed. This includes the establishment of independent oversight boards and internal controls. The agreement is non-binding, with no stated legal or regulatory consequences for non-compliance.

Zuckerberg described the accord as a "start" and a "historic conversation." Separately, President Trump issued an executive order mandating that all government departments and agencies replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "superintelligence" or "SI."
