US President Donald Trump and executives from technology companies have signed a voluntary accord on frontier AI, Cointelegraph reported on Sep 30, 2026. The accord's stated goal is to make sure the companies' AI models act the way their makers designed them to act.
Under the accord, most of the job of managing the risks of frontier AI falls on the developers themselves. Because the accord is voluntary, it relies on the companies to police their own systems.
The accord follows rising worry about the safety of frontier AI systems as they grow more capable. Trump has pushed back on calls to slow AI development, pointing to competition with China. The report does not say which companies signed, what the accord requires in detail, or what happens if a company does not follow it.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. The report does not mention crypto, exchanges, funding rates, trading fees or liquidity, and it contains no rule that applies to derivatives trading.
