White House AI Luncheon Yields Voluntary 'Self-Policing' Accord Amid Safety Fears
President Donald Trump hosted a high-profile luncheon at the White House on September 29, 2026, where major tech executives signed a voluntary agreement to self-regulate artificial intelligence. The accord, described by Trump as 'morally binding,' outlines internal controls, external audits, and board oversight for AI models. While leaders like Dario Amodei and Sam Altman have called for development slowdowns due to recent security breaches, the administration prioritized rapid growth and US competitiveness over China. Trump also defended controversial data center projects and announced plans to appoint a new AI czar within days.
