headline: ‘President of the Unites States’: White House’s AI accord includes spelling error
dek: The White House misspelled “United States” under the signature of Donald Trump on an accord he signed with AI executives on Tuesday. At the bottom of the accord on “Super Intelligence”, the term Trump has used to rebrand artificial intelligence, the president’s signature appeared as “President of the Unites States”. It is unclear how the misspelling occurred or whether it will appear in the Federal Register, the database that contains official presidential actions and other government documents. Trump and six te…

problem_reading: The accord is voluntary and leans on company self-policing, while polls show many Americans want more regulation and the document left formal rules undecided.
problem_evidence: Trump and six tech executives signed the document voluntarily | 71% of Americans believed the government wasn’t doing enough to regulate the growth and development of AI | “I think I’m seeing tremendous self-policing,”
quick_read: On Tuesday, September 30, 2026, President Trump and six AI and tech executives signed an accord on AI safety. The copy released by the White House misspelled the president's title as "President of the Unites States", and it is unclear how that happened or whether the error will reach the Federal Register.

The accord matters because it shows how AI oversight is being handled: through voluntary commitments, not binding rules. Public opinion polls show doubt about AI and a desire for more regulation. Whether the framework will become formal law remains unresolved, and Trump has repeatedly rejected that step.
limitation: The accord is voluntary and only left open the possibility of formal regulation, so enforceability and eventual codification remain uncertain.
tag: Evidence-backed problem
key_points: The accord describes four layers of controls and audits, including robust internal controls and an independent external auditor or evaluator. | Internal controls could include teams that monitor whether AI operates correctly and safeguards against hacking or access to technical systems in cybersecurity, biosecurity and chemical threats. | Companies could designate a board committee to oversee reports from the teams running the AI controls. | A New York Times/Siena poll found 61% of voters opposed datacenter construction. | The signers were leaders from Anthropic, SpaceXAI, OpenAI, Nvidia, Meta and Google.
rundown: The misspelling appeared under Trump's signature at the bottom of the accord on "Super Intelligence". Trump posted it on Truth Social, the White House Communications Team emailed it out, and Bloomberg's David Gura appeared to be the first to notice. The Guardian asked the White House for comment.

The accord was described as a first step in addressing concerns raised by industry experts in mid-September, who warned the technology is evolving too rapidly to control. External monitors would also check that the AI operates as intended.

Trump has largely brushed aside concerns about AI harming humans and urged companies to keep developing the technology so the US can lead globally. He praised the executives for growth even while signing a safety accord.
