The White House announced on July 21 that well-known artificial intelligence (AI) companies, including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, have vowed to create technology that is transparent, safe, and secure. The White House also commended several companies for their dedication to AI safety, including Amazon, Anthropic, Meta, and Inflection.
The Biden Administration placed a strong emphasis on companies being required to uphold high standards in AI development and ensure the safety of their products.
Collaboration is necessary to succeed in AI, according to Kent Walker, Google’s President for global affairs. Assuring that Google would continue to cooperate with other businesses by exchanging knowledge and best practices, he expressed joy at joining other top AI companies in supporting these pledges.
Pre-release security testing for AI systems, sharing best practices for AI safety, funding insider threats and cybersecurity precautions, and enabling third-party reporting of AI system vulnerabilities are just a few of the pledges made. According to Anna Makanju, vice president of international affairs at OpenAI, policymakers throughout the world are considering new rules for cutting-edge AI systems.
While the Biden administration is working with nations like Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Nigeria, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom to create a global framework for AI, US lawmakers from both parties proposed a bill in June to create an AI commission to address issues in the quickly expanding industry.
Brad Smith, the President of Microsoft, has stated that the organization is in favor of The White House’s voluntary commitments and is also willing to take additional steps to advance its ethical AI practices and collaborate with other prominent industry players.
Concerns regarding the potential misuse of generative AI and deep-fake technology in conflict zones have been expressed by global leaders, including the United Nations secretary-general. In an effort to lay the foundation for ethical AI development, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris convened a meeting with AI leaders in May and unveiled a $140 million investment in AI research and development by the National Science Foundation.
