# White House Accord on Super Intelligence **Domain:** Artificial Intelligence / Governance / Public Trust **Doc Type:** Governance Instrument Node **Maturity:** Developing ## Definition The **White House Accord on Super Intelligence** is the September 29, 2026 Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities signed by the President and leaders of major American frontier-AI companies. It establishes a voluntary architecture of internal controls, an empowered internal team, independent external assessment, board-level oversight, remediation, and recurring standards work. ## Institutional Function The accord converts public trust from rhetoric into a chain of responsibility. A frontier company monitors its models, verifies that monitoring internally, submits the system to independent evaluation, brings reports to an independent board committee, and repairs identified failures. The document leaves later statutory codification open while declaring the controls necessary regardless of legal compulsion. ## Relationships [[wiki/White House|White House]] · [[wiki/AI Control|AI Control]] · [[wiki/Public AI Trust|Public AI Trust]] · [[wiki/AI Safety|AI Safety]] · [[wiki/AI Transition Governance|AI Transition Governance]] ## Simple Reminders, Quotations, and Thoughts > “In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public.” > **— White House Accord on Super Intelligence**, *Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities, September 2026* [[reminders/AI Control/A Positive AI Future Requires Safe Development and Public Trust by the White House Accord Signatories|A Positive AI Future Requires Safe Development and Public Trust by the White House Accord Signatories]] ## Sources / Provenance - [[research/Super Intelligence Week Index of Statements from the White House Luncheon|Super Intelligence Week Index of Statements from the White House Luncheon]]. - [[articles/Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower from AI Factory to Citizen|Vertically Integrating an AI Superpower from AI Factory to Citizen]].
