Back in 1993, the Senate hauled video game executives into hearings over Mortal Kombat and threatened a federal ratings law. Within a year the industry created the ESRB, its own ratings board. Congress shelved the bill. Thirty years later there's still no federal video game law. Hollywood ran the same play in 1930 with the Hays Code. Comic books did it in 1954 with the Comics Code. The pattern is nearly a century old. When Washington starts drafting rules for your industry, you hand them a rulebook you wrote yourself. That's the play that just ran at the White House. Read the four commitments in the accord closely. Internal controls, an internal oversight team, an external evaluator, a board committee. The frontier labs already do most of this. Anthropic publishes a Responsible Scaling Policy. OpenAI has a board safety committee. Google publishes a Frontier Safety Framework. The page largely commits these companies to what they were doing in 2024. The sentence that matters is the last one. "Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations." So if Congress ever writes an AI law, this page is the first draft. And the companies it would regulate wrote it. The ESRB kept Congress out of video games for three decades. This single page is built to do the same job for AI.
