Pledge signed by President Trump and top AI leaders misspells the United States
What's happening
On Tuesday President Donald Trump and top AI executives announced a signed voluntary pact called the "Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities" pledging more controls and safety measures for rapidly developing artificial intelligence. The pledge and the agreement were shared publicly (including by adviser David Sacks), but coverage flagged an embarrassing error: the document misspells the United States.
