Person

Donald Trump

The Trump administration is actively shaping its approach to artificial intelligence through voluntary agreements, digital initiatives, and targeted corporate engagements. President Trump recently secured the White House Accord on Superintelligence, a morally binding artificial intelligence code signed by major technology leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. This voluntary agreement lacks legal weight and allows participating firms to establish their own rules without federal enforcement. Alongside this accord, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to adopt the term Super Intelligence. In another major digital push, the administration launched America.gov, a unified portal for federal services that utilizes Google Gemini and xAI Grok chatbots, with additional features slated for release in 2027. The administration also navigates complex relationships with individual AI developers. Although a federal appeals court ruled that the administration can blacklist Anthropic, which was designated as a supply chain risk by the Pentagon, Trump scheduled a dinner with Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei. Furthermore, the administration is recruiting private security firms to target overseas criminals and has explored taking an equity stake in OpenAI. These rapid developments occur amid warnings from former environmental officials about the health risks of deregulating AI data centers.
