The Trump administration misspelled the United States twice in images of the White House artificial intelligence memo it published following President Donald Trump’s accord on Tuesday with the country’s biggest names in AI.
On Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, both Trump and the White House posted the “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities,” which came from the “White House Accord on Super Intelligence,” on social media. In both posts on X and Truth Social, “United States” was spelled “Unites States” under Trump’s signature.
“President of the Unites States,” read the words underneath Trump’s name and signature.
The blunder comes as the eyes of the political and tech world were keenly tuned to the results of Trump’s Tuesday summit with AI industry leaders, who have largely been warning of the impact of unregulated AI and calling for further guardrails on the industry.
The memo on the summit, released by the White House Tuesday evening, calls for companies to self-regulate and lays out four guidelines to do so. The guideline calls on companies to “implement robust internal controls” regarding cybersecurity and to prevent hacking; create an internal monitoring team; “partner with an independent external auditor”; and create an independent committee to review the external audits and internal monitoring reports.
“In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public,” the memo reads. “This starts with every company that is training and deploying frontier models having robust internal processes and controls to ensure that their technology behaves as intended and that any issues are promptly identified and resolved.”
The AI leaders also agreed to use Trump’s preferred name for the technology: “super intelligence.”
The results come after Trump called AI doomsday concerns a “hoax,” differing from the messaging of AI CEOs — such as Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and SpaceXAI’s Elon Musk — who have each called for a slowdown in frontier model development and more industry guardrails. Amodei, Musk, and OpenAI President Greg Brockman each signed the memo on Tuesday, along with Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang.
Huang had taken a bit of a different approach to the AI guardrails conversation, warning the U.S. against regulating AI like social media.

The hotly anticipated results of the meeting apparently led Americans to flock to social media for the memo, where accounts have trolled the misspelling of “United States.”
