Trump signs 'morally binding' pact with tech leaders on AI
United States President Donald Trump has signed what he called a "morally binding" agreement with top technology executives at the White House, aimed at guiding how artificial intelligence (AI) develops. According to Mint, Trump announced during the signing that AI is being officially renamed "Super Intelligence." The agreement, reached with leading tech company bosses, is meant to shape the rapid evolution of AI technology, though it is not a legally enforceable law. The move signals growing involvement of governments in steering AI's direction as the technology advances quickly. Watch for how tech companies respond to this agreement and whether it influences future AI policy or regulation in the US.
