Meta's Oversight Board issued six recommendations for the safety committees six AI companies, including Google and OpenAI, pledged last week. The accord behind the pledge would fill those committees with company directors, so the independence the board calls essential is in doubt from the start.

Trump's White House Accord on Super Intelligence asks six AI companies to police themselves through four layers of control, with no penalties for breaking it.

Six AI companies signed a two-page White House accord on 29 September that pledges audits and board review but sets no penalty for breaking it. A close reading of the text finds it is the nearest thing the US has to national AI safety policy, two months after Europe switched its rules on.
