WASHINGTON — President Trump said the leaders of the big artificial-intelligence companies signed a voluntary accord at a White House lunch on Tuesday, and that his government will not limit the technology. The Associated Press said the document calls for internal and external reviews. CNN reported four steps: cybersecurity controls inside the companies, an internal team to check that the controls work, an outside operator to assess the models, and a board committee to receive the reports.
The signatures Trump posted were Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, and Elon Musk. Also in the room, CNN said, were Alex Karp of Palantir, Jeff Bezos, and House Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump told reporters he was seeing tremendous self-policing, and that whoever wins what he calls Super Intelligence is going to win. He later called the paper morally binding, and almost like a constitution. It has no force of law.
I'm seeing tremendous self-policing, and they understand that they have to self-police.
The lunch followed a week of alarms, including reports of AI agents going rogue. On Friday OpenAI said it would pause training of its latest model. The Politics desk files the signatures. The pause is on the technology page. The court, the dead child in Kyiv, and the last plane out of Iraq are on theirs.

An unsigned order puts Judge Brian Murphy's hold aside until arguments in December. Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson would have kept the flights stopped. About 25,000 people have already been sent to more than two dozen countries.

Trump is taking Xi to see the Constitution.
The last day of the visit is the National Archives: the Declaration, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. Thursday's summit produced pomp, a trade line for farmers, and no breakthrough.
