Misprinted AI Pact Sparks Embarrassment
President Donald Trump — aged 80 — hosted a White House luncheon with leading artificial-intelligence CEOs. The gathering concluded with a “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities,” a self-regulation pledge signed by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI president Greg Brockman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and xAI CEO Elon Musk. The error was posted on the president’s Truth Social account and the White House Rapid Response X account, quickly drawing ridicule.
Background to the AI Initiative
The agreement followed an executive order in which Trump renamed “artificial intelligence” as “super intelligence.” The administration framed the pledge as a “morally binding” safeguard, positioning the United States as a leader in AI governance. Critics have previously highlighted Trump’s frequent misspellings in public posts, noting similar errors in 2025-2026 Truth Social messages.
Official Statements
Trump defended the pact, asserting that “the biggest people in the world signed that, and I signed it as president, and it really is a form of protection.” The statement was made to reporters outside the White House after the signing ceremony. No correction or apology was issued by the administration regarding the typo.
Public Reaction
Social-media users on X seized on the mistake, posting jokes about the misspelling and questioning why none of the billionaire signatories flagged the error. Comments ranged from sarcastic quips about “spell-check in AI” to broader criticism of the administration’s handling of the AI document.
