Printed page 1, Introduction, paragraph beginning America’s AI Action Plan; signatures on printed page 2. · View original source ↗

Source context. Sacks is named alongside Kratsios and Rubio at the conclusion of the joint introduction. The document explicitly requests faster development and distribution, rather than merely praising innovation. This is joint official policy and not individually spoken testimony.

Scope

U.S. development and distribution of AI technology in international competition, in a joint government policy.

Conditions

The same introduction requires preventing misuse or theft and monitoring emerging and unforeseen AI risks.

Stated rationale

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement. I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible. But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier. Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want. Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well. So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it. If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

Source context. The post addresses Dario Amodei and Sam Altman directly. It urges them to pace the frontier themselves if their risk judgment calls for it, while challenging their motives and proposed institutions and noting Chinese competition. Conditional support is affirmative, but does not establish a blanket slower U.S. innovation policy or repeal his coauthored action plan.

Scope

Voluntary development pacing by OpenAI and Anthropic for risky unreleased frontier models; not all developers or all AI.

Conditions

Conditional on those labs judging their unreleased models sufficiently risky; rejects antitrust exemptions, a cartel, and a preferred regulatory framework as preconditions.

Source context. Sacks uses a WSJ AI-buildout headline to oppose an economically damaging broad pause/moratorium. This narrows the interpretation of his September13 support for voluntary pacing. Opposition alone does not specify an affirmative rate or erase voluntary company-level pacing.

Scope

A Democratic AI pause or moratorium framed around U.S. AI infrastructure and the economy.

Conditions

No alternative capability cadence or safety gate stated in this passage.

Only President Trump could convene all the leaders of the top companies developing chips, data centers and frontier models for Super Intelligence. This new Industrial Revolution has already created a million new jobs and is spurring a bigger infrastructure build-out than the pic.x.com/tih4YNXmYtrid combined. I was honored to witness history as the leaders of the frontier lab companies signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, accepting responsibility for the safe development of their products and imposing new internal controls and external audits. This is far better than waiting years for some international agreement that would probably never happen. President Trump continues to ensure that U.S. remains the technology leader while putting Americans first.

Source context. The post praises U.S. leadership and infrastructure benefits while welcoming signatories’ safety responsibility, controls and audits. It does not prescribe a capability growth rate. This prevents overstating his earlier opposition to specific METR/cartel arrangements as opposition to all audits or standards.

Scope

Internal controls and external audits for frontier-lab product development under the White House accord.

Nvidia’s OpenShell announcement is a reminder that agent safety is an engineering problem. Recent breakouts weren’t proof that development must stop. They were proof that the sandbox was too weak. The runtime environment was poorly designed and misconfigured. The right response x.com/JensenHuang/st…on, control of the path to the model, out-of-band hardware enforcement, and a faster pace of safety work with the frontier labs. As the technical blog puts it: “We believe we need to increase the pace of AI safety research and engineering in collaboration with frontier labs and the broader community.” That’s how you earn trust. Not by virtue-signaling a pause, and not by acting like no solution exists.

Jensen Huang@JensenHuang

Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry. Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come. But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility. This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems. Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy. Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. nvda.ws/4hcoq7m

Source context. Sacks attributes breakouts to weak sandboxes and misconfigured runtimes, proposes concrete engineering safeguards and rejects a performative pause. The acceleration he specifically requests is safety research and engineering, including a separate attributed quotation from NVIDIA. This is a direct alternative to stopping development for the cited incidents; it does not erase his conditional company-led slowdown statement.

Scope

Agent breakout risks and runtime safety engineering in collaboration with frontier labs.

Conditions

Calls for runtime isolation, control of model access paths, hardware enforcement and faster safety work; does not prescribe faster capability development.

Democrats are trying to dismiss the White House Accord on Super Intelligence as optional self-policing. But although the agreement was entered into voluntarily, the governance that follows from it is not. As Gavin Baker points out, once an independent auditor reports a safety x.com/GavinSBaker/st… board committee, directors have a fiduciary duty not to disregard it, and a D&O carrier can use a bad-faith finding to deny coverage. So although the agreement starts with internal controls, these are verified by external audit and board oversight — and then existing FTC and securities law still apply to any public claim the company does not keep. This is far more practical than what Democrats want — a freeze on frontier development while China races ahead. Democrats should applaud what President Trump has accomplished. But they would rather use SI safety as a campaign issue than admit the Accord represents major progress.

Gavin Baker@GavinSBaker

The White House Accord on Super Intelligence will have a positive impact on safety. Committing to hire third party auditors who will report to an independent committee of board members has more practical near term significance than almost any conceivable regulatory action. pic.x.com/m4E2MRIPlAll have a fiduciary duty. If they ignore a report from the third party auditors then a bad faith finding from a court is a real possibility. A D&O carrier could use this to deny coverage. Really good outcome for ordinary Americans. More effective and elegant than some ridiculous new regulatory body that would take months to do anything, then almost certainly done the wrong thing and along the way probably created a regulated oligopoly at the frontier which is the scariest potential outcome* As I read the articles about the accord, it did occur to me that they were mostly written by political reporters who may have not understood the significance of the accord given their reporting beats are generally focused on public policy instead of corporate governance. *Scariest because I do not trust any 5-20 individuals to make the best possible decisions about the direction of this technology. I want as many AIs as possible to maximize the odds that they encompass the diversity of human values across the world and richness of human variation. And I want an AI that shares my own personal values. Safety, freedom and the maximization of human agency through democratization, distribution and diffusion vs. centralization. History has spoken on the dangers of the latter path. **Also SI not AI still adapting to the change but I do think better branding. Who wants artificial ingredients in their food?

Source context. Sacks responds to Gavin Baker about third-party audit findings, board fiduciary responsibilities and existing FTC/securities law under the White House accord. He prefers this governance to a national frontier freeze. This supports continuing accountable development, but does not independently prescribe faster capability gains.

Scope

U.S. frontier-development governance under the White House accord; direct opposition to nationwide freeze rather than a separate instruction to speed capabilities.

Conditions

Companies remain subject to audits, board duties and existing FTC/securities laws; support is not unconditional absence of safety governance.

Stated rationale

Existing governance is more practical than freezing U.S. frontier development while China proceeds.
