White House gets tech CEOs to sign AI safety pledge

Nearly every major tech CEO, including Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk and Anthropic's Dario Amodei, signed an AI safety pledge that President Trump called morally binding. Trump also signed an executive order rebranding AI as super intelligence.

Why it matters: The pledge is described as morally rather than legally binding, so it signals alignment between industry and the administration without creating enforcement. Read alongside the AI Force announcement and state-level kill-switch moves, it shows federal policy leaning on voluntary commitments while states move toward harder rules.
