A White House Accord with AI’s Leaders 9/30/26

AI leaders signed a voluntary, non-binding safety accord at the White House, while OpenAI simultaneously raises $30B at a $1.4T valuation.

• White House Accord signed: Tech/AI CEOs signed a voluntary "Accord on Super Intelligence" adopting risk reviews, auditing, and third-party evaluation; officials call it morally, not legally, binding.
• Dario Amodei's thaw: Mallaby says Amodei, previously frozen out as "woke" for urging caution, got a last-minute presidential invite, dined at the White House Sunday, and attended Tuesday's meeting.
