Philadelphia, PA, September 29, 2026 —

Washington D.C. – President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that a group of leading artificial intelligence companies has entered into a voluntary accord aimed at self-policing the development of AI technologies. The announcement was made at the White House.

The agreement, described as a voluntary accord, involves commitments from these top AI companies to implement both internal and external reviews of their AI development processes. The stated goal of this self-policing initiative is to oversee the advancement and application of artificial intelligence.

Details regarding the specific companies that signed the accord were not immediately provided. Similarly, the precise nature and scope of the internal and external review mechanisms were not detailed in the announcement. The timeline for the implementation of these review processes also remains unspecified.

The President’s announcement highlighted the voluntary nature of the agreement, emphasizing that the participating companies will take the lead in establishing and managing oversight for their AI innovations. This approach relies on industry self-regulation rather than mandated governmental oversight at this stage.

Further information regarding the framework of the accord, including how ‘self-policing’ will be practically executed and what constitutes successful adherence, was not publicly disclosed. The White House did not provide additional details concerning the specific commitments made by the companies beyond the general terms of review.
