President Trump convened roughly 31 technology executives and government officials at a high-profile White House lunch on September 29, 2026, where leaders from major AI companies signed the "White House Accord on Super Intelligence"—a voluntary commitment to industry self-regulation amid mounting safety concerns. The summit brought together CEOs from Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, Amazon, and xAI, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance, as the Trump administration reinforced its hands-off approach to overseeing frontier AI development.
