Trump held a summit recently with tech leaders on AI, and the two main outcomes seemed to be 1. A signed document where the leaders vaguely agreed to police themselves internally, and 2. Yet another push by Trump to rename artificial intelligence to "super intelligence".

So is the signed document legally binding in any way? In the Daily Show clip above, host Jordan Klepper plays a clip of Trump shrugging off the question, saying it's "morally binding".

"Morally binding, sure! We don't need laws! I'm sure we could trust these guys." responds Klepper. "You know I'm not saying this self-policing document they signed is bullshit that they barely bothered to read, but I will say they did misspell 'United States'."
