[UPDATE] Reuters: White House keeps AI safeguards voluntary as polls show rising public concern
A Reuters analysis notes that the one-page safety pact signed Sept 29 by Nvidia, SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google sets no penalties for companies that don't comply. It cites a Sept 22 Reuters/Ipsos poll in which three in four Americans said AI firms have not done enough to prevent serious harm. Lawmakers and policy analysts quoted in the piece are split on whether binding rules should follow.
