NEED TO KNOW

• The White House shared a document identifying Trump as “President of the Unites States” beneath his signature
• Tech leaders including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai signed the voluntary AI agreement
• The framework outlines four oversight layers for companies developing advanced AI systems

An agreement signed by President Donald Trump and some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence had a very clear typo: the misspelling of the United States.

Rather than “President of the United States,” the text below Trump’s signature read “President of the Unites States,” as seen in a Wednesday, Sept. 30 post on the White House’s X account. The agreement was signed after a White House summit with leading tech executives on Tuesday, Sept. 29. The order directs federal agencies to refer to AI as “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in public communications, websites, reports and other materials.

“The extraordinary technologies being pioneered by American innovators far exceed what was envisioned when the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ first came into use,” the order stated.

The White House did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on the spelling error on Wednesday.

The White House’s new AI framework calls for four layers of safety oversight: companies monitor their own AI systems, internal safety teams review those safeguards, independent auditors check the work from outside, and company boards provide final oversight.

The idea is to create multiple layers of accountability so potential risks are identified and addressed rather than relying on a single safety check.

Some prominent critics have expressed alarm over self-regulation of AI companies, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who told NBC News, “No one thinks self-regulation is enough.”

Gates, who was interviewed for an upcoming Meet the Press segment, added, “You need law enforcement and the politicians to get into the discussion about what safeguards and monitoring look like. And that has to be a required thing. And it will be a little bit of overhead for the industry, but not a dramatic slowing of what they’re doing.”

The order comes after Trump wrote on Truth Social, polling the public on a name change.

“Many people think that the words ‘Artificial Intelligence’ are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI),” Trump 80, wrote on Saturday, Sept. 19.

“This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing ‘Revolution?’ ” he wrote.

Among the 66,000 people who voted, “Superior Intelligence” came out on top.

Two days later, Trump pitted “Superior Intelligence” and “Supreme Intelligence” against one another in another poll on the platform. Of the 50,000 voters who participated, “Supreme Intelligence” racked up 65% of votes.

The new voluntary AI agreement, titled the “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities,” was signed by Trump along with Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Meta chair and CEO Mark Zuckerberg,  OpenAI president Greg Brockman, XAI CEO Elon Musk, and NVIDIA CEO and president Jensen Huang.
