Robust internal controls, internal risk reviews, outside auditors and evaluators, and independent reviews of audit reports by company boards will form the core principles of a new AI framework agreed by technology leaders, Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said.

Zuckerberg outlined the framework after a meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House, where tech leaders agreed on a set of guiding principles for artificial intelligence.

"The idea isn't that this is the only thing that we will ever do. It is that this is a start and an accord that the whole industry could come to," he said.

He said the goal of the accord is to give Americans and customers confidence that the technology is working in the way companies intend.
