Seven US artificial intelligence giants - Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - have publicly committed to "Help move toward safe, secure, and transparent development of AI technology."
Test the security of their AI systems before launch Share knowledge about AI risk management best practices among themselves and with the government.
Make sure users can unequivocably know when content is AI-generated Disclose the capabilities, limitations, and both appropriate and inappropriate uses of their AI systems Keep researching the potential societal risks of AI use and protect privacy Create advanced AI systems to tackle society's most significant challenges Addressing the risks posed by AI. In the official document outlining the eight commitments, it says that they "Apply only to generative models that are overall more powerful than the current industry frontier."
"There is a lot of potential for privacy issues arising from the use of AI technologies, especially around Large Language Models such as ChatGPT. OpenAI themselves disclosed a vulnerability in ChatGPT that inadvertently provided access to other users' conversation titles. Clearly this has serious data security implications for users of these LLMs. More generally, companies may be asked to conduct a risk assessment from a societal impact perspective prior to releasing AI-enabled technologies."
The Administration has previously published a Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, aimed at protecting US citizens from risks that AI systems may pose, such as bias and discrimination.
To protect the public from algorithmic discrimination, President Biden has signed an Executive Order to urge federal agencies to combat bias in the development and implementation of emerging technologies, such as AI. With the intention to bolster AI research and development, the Administration also invested $140 million into the National Science Foundation to launch seven new National AI Research Institutes.
