White House AI Pledge Marred by Typo

The document, intended to solidify voluntary safety protocols for rapid AI development, includes participation from industry heavyweights like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei. While the executives discussed oversight and independent board reviews, the physical copy shared by the White House suggests a lack of rigorous proofreading during the drafting process. Gizmodo reporter Matt Novak first highlighted the error, which stands in contrast to the precise corporate names listed alongside the President’s endorsement.

This gathering follows recent public debates regarding the pace of innovation. While figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk have previously advocated for a slowdown, the current administration has doubled down on maintaining technological dominance. The pledge itself offers no legal or regulatory enforcement, acting instead as a symbolic framework for companies to manage their models. Beyond the commitment, the administration is shifting its official terminology, with an executive order now requiring federal agencies to replace the term "artificial intelligence" with "superintelligence."
