New Regulation Reduces AI Dangers To Humanity (Slightly)
Yesterday, the Biden administration secured voluntary commitments from seven major tech companies to help manage risks around artificial intelligence.
The companies signing on are OpenAI, Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection AI, Meta, and Microsoft. Their CEOs met at the White House to formally agree to the AI principles proposed by the administration.
The guidelines call for thorough testing of AI systems before public release. Companies pledged to invest in cybersecurity safeguards and facilitate third-party reporting of vulnerabilities.
They agreed to develop tools like watermarks so users can identify AI-generated content. The companies also committed to publicly sharing details on system capabilities, limitations, and appropriate uses.
Prioritizing research on AI risks like bias was another key commitment. Perhaps most notable - the tech giants agreed to use AI to help address big challenges like disease prevention and climate change.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called the voluntary steps a positive move, but added we still have a long way to go on trustworthy AI. The White House said this is part of a broader plan to ensure safe and responsible AI innovation.
Now, these principles aren't legally binding or enforceable. But they signal an intent to self-regulate. Some experts called them an important first step. Others argued voluntary measures alone aren't sufficient.
The commitments come before a major AI policy push in Congress this fall. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a series of expert forums on topics like AI bias and transparency. This crash course aims to build consensus on sorely needed legislation.
A former White House advisor said voluntary efforts like this announcement can complement laws, regulations and executive actions. The administration is also crafting an executive order on AI.
The key takeaway - the tech industry realizes smart guidelines are needed as AI advances rapidly. But laws with teeth will likely follow. For now, users should view AI content more critically until better safeguards emerge.
That's your AI update - stay tuned as this technology continues shaping our world!
