Why the “voluntary AI commitments” extracted by the White House are nowhere near enough
2023-08-16 05:00

Representatives from Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI recently convened at the White House for a meeting with President Biden with the stated mission of "Ensuring the responsible development and distribution of artificial intelligence technologies".

To continue to research the potential societal risks posed by AI and its various applications To develop AI technologies designed to address society's most significant and pressing challenges.

These kinds of commitments fail to address some very fundamental issues around AI that we, as an industry and society, must address soon, if we hope to minimize this technology's potential for harm, and maximize its potential for good.

The case for continuous improvement: Part 1 - AI technologies are living systems.

AI systems are dynamic, living systems that change, shift, and evolve over time - as does the world around us.

This is why promising "To test the security of AI systems before launch" is nowhere near enough to prevent the weaponization of these technologies.
