Full details have emerged of an artificial intelligence safety agreement described as "morally binding," under which a number of top technology executives agreed to self-regulate their AI development, following its announcement by President Trump.
The agreement is officially titled the Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.
It was shared online by tech founder and presidential advisor David Sacks, who has been involved in coordinating the administration's approach to artificial intelligence policy.
The commitment has been signed by a number of technology executives, according to the announcement, though the full list of signatories and the specific obligations they have agreed to were not fully detailed.
The agreement relies on voluntary self-regulation by the signatory companies rather than binding government rules, a model that has drawn both interest and scrutiny in past discussions of AI governance.
