Musk Criticizes AI Oversight Accord as 'Grading Each Other's Homework'

Leading AI executives signed a voluntary safety accord at the White House, hosted by President Donald Trump, to establish oversight for super intelligence. The agreement requires companies to monitor their own models, use internal verification teams, and engage outside auditors. While Trump described the pact as morally binding, critics, including Elon Musk, compared the structure to peer grading rather than robust regulation. Industry experts suggest the executives are seeking a level playing field rather than government enforcement, while public sentiment remains cautious regarding the pace of AI development.
