Trump and AI CEOs sign safety pledge, but United States misspelled in photo

The joint commitment was announced Tuesday, yet a spelling error under the president's signature drew attention to the rushed rollout.

President Donald Trump and leading AI executives announced a voluntary "Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities" on Tuesday, September 30, 2026, according to TechCrunch. The pledge outlines internal controls, independent oversight boards and rapid issue resolution for frontier AI models. A photo of the signed document posted to Truth Social misspelled "United States" as "Unites States" beneath Trump's signature, while the other signatories' names were correct.

TechCrunch noted that the gathering included Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Anthropic co‑founder Dario Amodei, who had recently met with the White House to discuss AI progress. The pledge follows calls from Sam Altman, Amodei and Elon Musk for a slowdown in AI development, which Trump and Huang rejected. Zuckerberg described the accord as a "start" for industry‑wide self‑regulation.

The agreement is voluntary and carries no legal penalties for non‑compliance. In a related executive order, Trump directed U.S. agencies to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "superintelligence" in official documents.
