White House, Trump and tech CEOs sign a 'morally binding' AI code of conduct
President Donald Trump and several tech CEOs signed an AI code of conduct at the White House that the administration describes as "morally binding" and not legally enforceable. The code calls for independent third‑party auditors to verify models "operate as intended" and an independent board to oversee internal safety checks; signatories reportedly include Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI's Greg Brockman, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and Elon Musk.
