Pledge signed by President Trump and top AI leaders misspells the United States

A signed pledge called the Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities was unveiled after President Trump and top AI executives met at the White House to discuss rapid AI development. A photograph of the signed document shared on Truth Social contained a visible typo: “United States” was printed as “Unites States” beneath the president’s signature while other signatories’ names were correct; that error was flagged publicly by a reporter. Attendees included leaders from major AI firms such as Meta, Nvidia and Anthropic, and the announcement followed public debates over whether to slow AI progress - debates some participants called to decelerate and others, including the president and Nvidia’s CEO, opposed.

Substantively, the pledge is a voluntary agreement that outlines safety and oversight measures for frontier AI models: companies commit to ensuring models behave as intended, promptly identifying and correcting issues, creating internal controls and consulting independent oversight boards. The pact carries no legal penalties for noncompliance. One executive characterized the accord as an initial, industry-wide step. Separately, an executive order accompanying the gathering instructs government agencies to replace the term “artificial intelligence” with “superintelligence” or “SI” in official phrasing.
