Tech Leaders Commit Self-Regulation for AI Safety Amid Trump Executive Order
President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled 'Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence,' mandating federal agencies to use the term 'super intelligence' instead of artificial intelligence. In response, leaders from six major U.S. tech companies—Google, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, Tesla, and SpaceX—signed a voluntary agreement called the White House Accord on Super Intelligence. The accord emphasizes self-regulation through internal safety measures while acknowledging that future legislation may be necessary. OpenAI has delayed its IPO until it can ensure AI safety decisions are confident enough to meet public expectations. This follows broader market uncertainty affecting other tech companies, such as biometric ring maker Oura also postponing its listing. Meanwhile, the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield reached a two-decade high amid increased hedge fund participation in the $30 trillion bond market. The Federal Reserve's key inflation gauge is expected to show continued price pressures later this week. Market performance for September and Q3 has been mixed: while the Nasdaq rose, both the S&P 500 and Dow are tracking declines.
