David Sacks says leading AI firms signed White House superintelligence accord with new audit controls

David Sacks, chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, said Donald Trump convened leaders from top companies in chips, data centers, and frontier AI models to discuss the development of the "superintelligence" industry. Sacks said the new industrial revolution has already created 1 million jobs and driven infrastructure buildout on a scale larger than the combined construction of railroads, canals, and the power grid. He also said executives from multiple frontier AI labs have signed a "White House Superintelligence Accord," committing their companies to take responsibility for the safe development of products and to put in place new internal controls and external audit mechanisms. Sacks argued that having companies sign such an accord is a better option than waiting for an international agreement that may take years to materialize, and said the move would help the United States maintain its technological lead.
