TRUMP AND AI CEOS SIGN VOLUNTARY SAFETY PACT AND BACK DATA CENTER EXPANSION

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said ​tech executives agreed to establish voluntary standards for AI and reiterated his support for rapid expansion of data centers, as concerns mount over AI safety and the ‌industry's growing footprint in communities.

Trump made the comments after meeting with tech executives at the White House. The companies agreed to work with "independent auditors" to assess whether AI systems are working as their designers intended, according to a copy of the agreement posted by Trump on his social media platform. The companies also said they would work to ensure their AI tools do not "hack or access technical systems in unintended ways."
