Apple is the latest addition to the list of public U.S. companies that made voluntary commitments to AI regulations, the White House announced on July 26.

The addition of Apple is "Further cementing these commitments as cornerstones of responsible AI innovation," the White House stated in a press release.

Government hits deadline for AI safety commitments among agencies.

On July 26, the White House announced both that Apple had signed on to the commitment and that federal agencies have completed all "270-day actions in the Executive Order on schedule." The actions range from technical guidelines to piloting the use of AI in government to bringing more professionals with AI skills into government work.

Apple has been relatively cautious with its AI rollouts, choosing to reveal Apple Intelligence well after Google and Microsoft's experiments with generative AI features.

Apple Intelligence will include both ChatGPT integration and proprietary Apple AI to boost Siri's capabilities.
