President Donald Trump said he and a group of technology industry leaders signed an agreement on artificial intelligence that he described as "morally binding," following a White House luncheon focused on AI.
The gathering came as public calls for slowing the pace of AI development and increasing regulatory oversight of the technology have intensified.
A Symbolic Commitment
Details of the agreement's specific terms were not fully outlined, though Trump's description of it as morally rather than legally binding suggests it functions as a voluntary commitment rather than a formal regulatory mechanism.
The luncheon brought together executives from major technology companies at a moment when debate over how to balance AI innovation with safety and oversight has become increasingly prominent in Washington and beyond.
It remains to be seen how the agreement will translate into concrete action from the companies involved.
