The document sets four specific rules for participating companies. Each firm must implement internal controls to monitor model capabilities and alignment during training and deployment, focusing on cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats. Companies must also empower an internal team to verify controls and remediate issues.

Independent oversight forms the third and fourth rules. Firms are required to partner with an external auditor or evaluator for assessments of controls and detection systems. An independent board committee must oversee reports from internal teams and auditors while ensuring remediation of identified problems.

The agreement includes a note on potential future regulation. A passage states that “over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations.” The rules remain high-level procedures without specified penalties for violations.
