Three takeaways from Trump's 'Super Intelligence' summit

US President Donald Trump hosted a meeting of top technology bosses on Tuesday for what he called "an extraordinary gathering" of the minds that are "building America's Golden Age".

The guest list included leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, SpaceX, Meta and Google - all key figures in the US AI industry.

The meeting came as some tech executives and experts have called for tighter oversight of AI and a slowdown in developing the technology, citing concerns about the potential risks it poses to humanity.

Trump took questions from the media for around 30 minutes alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson and top tech leaders after the closed-door meeting.

The president told reporters that the executives had signed a "morally binding" document that would serve as a "form of protection" from AI's potential risks.

Under the agreement, which Trump posted on social media, the companies are responsible for ensuring the safety of their own technology.

The firms also agreed to implement safeguards to keep models operating as intended and quickly detect and fix any issues, the document said.

They will also work with "independent auditors" to assess whether their AI systems are working as intended and ensure their platforms do not "hack or access technical systems in unintended ways."

The accord was signed by Trump, Google boss Sundar Pichai, Anthropic chief Dario Amodei, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, OpenAI President Greg Brockman, SpaceX's Elon Musk and Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang.

"It's almost like a constitution, in a way," Trump said, referring to the agreement. "And the biggest people in the world signed that, and I signed it as president."

Trump added that he will set up a board to oversee the safety of AI tools. He did not specify who would be on that board.

Zuckerberg said the accord gives the "American people and customers the confidence that the technology works" as intended.
