The White House brought together six technology executives to sign a "super intelligence accord," but the ceremony apparently lacked a basic safeguard: a proofreader. Above the Law reports that nobody in the room thought to review the document before it was presented, leaving the accord exposed to embarrassing drafting mistakes.
For a legal and policy instrument meant to govern advanced AI, the oversight is more than a cosmetic issue. Typos and ambiguous phrasing in agreements can create real interpretive problems down the line, and in a field as consequential as superintelligent systems, precision is not optional.
The episode also feeds a broader concern about the pace of technology policymaking. When the signing ceremony features the president and six tech titans, the absence of a copy editor is a telling detail about how such accords are put together.
