Donald Trump
This was reported by Reuters.
Trump has published a one-page document, which he described as “morally binding”, in which he called for the introduction of four levels of oversight within companies.
In particular, IT firms are encouraged to work with an external auditor or independent assessor to verify whether AI control and monitoring systems are functioning as intended.
Furthermore, companies were urged to establish an independent committee under the board of directors to oversee and receive reports from internal and external auditors, as well as from teams responsible for AI oversight.
The agreement calls for the implementation of internal controls to monitor the capabilities and compliance of artificial intelligence models during training and deployment in areas such as cybersecurity, biosecurity and chemical threats, to ensure that the models “do not hack into technical systems or gain access to them in unforeseen ways”.
The companies were also asked to set up an internal team to ensure that “all control, monitoring and detection measures function as intended”.
The document was signed by Trump and the heads of Google, Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, the social media platform X and NVIDIA.
“Over time, it may prove advisable to enshrine these standards in law or incorporate them into regulatory frameworks. Regardless of whether this becomes mandatory for companies, we believe that implementing these control standards and audits is crucial to ensuring a safe future for all, and each of our companies is committed to doing so,” states the White House agreement.
“Participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices with the aim of enhancing the security of their systems,” the document adds.
Trump has renamed AI ‘superintelligence’
Donald Trump has also signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to use the term ‘superintelligence’ (SI) instead of ‘artificial intelligence’ (AI). This was reported by the White House.
The new term is to be used in official correspondence, public communications and executive branch documents. Agencies are also required to discontinue the use of the terms ‘artificial intelligence’ and ‘AI’.
The President’s Assistant for Science and Technology will draw up a federal definition of superintelligence and identify the measures required to introduce the new term. The White House believes this should ensure that federal agencies maintain their focus on expanding the capabilities of AI and the scope of applications for these technologies.
