The White House Super Intelligence Summit: A Historic Gathering
David Sachs, a key architect of the so-called Bretton Woods 2.0, detailed the unprecedented White House summit convened by President Trump, which brought together the CEOs of the world's leading AI companies including Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Dario Amodei, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, and others. Despite existing rivalries and lawsuits among these tech giants, the president uniquely managed to gather them for a candid discussion on the opportunities and risks of superintelligence (SI).
The summit resulted in the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, signed by six major frontier model companies. This agreement establishes a framework of responsibility, internal controls, external audits, and board oversight to ensure the safe development of superintelligence. Crucially, while the accord was voluntary, it carries fiduciary weight, linking compliance to directors and officers’ liability insurance (D&O), thus embedding enforceability into corporate governance.
