(NewsNation) — Seven major tech companies, including Google and the creators of Chat GPT, have agreed to follow a set of White House AI safety guidelines.
Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI say they’d help move toward safe, secure, and transparent development of AI technology. Company leaders are expected to join President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday in a public address about AI safety.
The commitments include conducting external security testing of AI systems before they’re released and sharing information about managing AI risks industry-wide, as well as with governments, academia and the general public.
The companies also say they’ll report vulnerabilities in their products and invest in cybersecurity in insider threat safeguards.
To improve trust and transparency, tech leaders agreed to develop ways to make sure users know when content is AI-generated. They’ll additionally publicly report their technology’s capabilities and shortcomings.
As AI capabilities rapidly expand, the White House has asked companies to help address “society’s greatest challenges” and research societal risks that AI can pose, including bias, discrimination and privacy concerns.
“Companies that are developing these emerging technologies have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe,” the White House said in an official statement. “To make the most of AI’s potential, the Biden-Harris 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.”
