> Leading AI and technology firms signed a “morally binding” agreement to “self-police” development after meeting at the White House. The accord comes under intense pressure from the public and lawmakers to regulate the industry, as reports of the technology escaping its confines mount. OpenAI said last week that its agent hacked an Australian government website during testing.
