US President Joe Biden’s Administration has secured voluntary commitments from seven companies to help move toward safe, secure, and transparent development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, said the White House.
It said in a press release that since taking office, President Biden’s Administration has moved with urgency to manage AI risks and to protect Americans’ rights and safety.
It added that as part of this commitment, President Biden is convening seven leading AI companies at the White House today – Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI – to announce that the Administration has secured voluntary commitments from these companies to help move toward safe, secure, and transparent development of AI technology.
It said that companies that are developing these emerging technologies have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe, adding that to make the most of AI’s potential, the Administration is encouraging this industry to uphold the highest standards to ensure that innovation doesn’t come at the expense of Americans’ rights and safety.
These commitments, which the companies have chosen to undertake immediately, underscore three principles that must be fundamental to the future of AI – safety, security, and trust – and mark a critical step toward developing responsible AI, it emphasized.
As the pace of innovation continues to accelerate, the Administration will continue to remind these companies of their responsibilities and take decisive action to keep Americans safe, it added.
