The main players in the field of artificial intelligence in the USA, in particular Microsoft, Google and OpenAI, are taking an important step towards the development of responsible technologies. In response to pressure from the White House, these companies will voluntarily commit to key measures to protect their AI technology on Friday. The Biden administration has placed a strong emphasis on AI companies developing their technology responsibly, enabling them to benefit society without compromising security, rights or democratic values. Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden held talks with AI industry leaders who emphasized the need for accountability.

Large organizations are aware of the challenges posed by rapidly evolving AI.

Tech companies are adopting eight proposed safety, security and social responsibility measures, according to a draft document seen by Bloomberg. These measures include allowing independent experts to test AI models for potential misconduct, investing in cybersecurity, and encouraging third parties to identify vulnerabilities.

To address societal risks, including bias and abuse, companies will focus on rigorous impact research. They will also share information about trust and security with other companies and government, promoting a collaborative approach to responsible AI development.

Additionally, they plan to add watermarks to AI-generated audio and visual content to prevent misuse or misinformation. They are also committed to using the most advanced artificial intelligence systems, known as edge models, to solve the important problems facing society.

The voluntary nature of this agreement clearly demonstrates the difficulties legislators face in keeping up with the rapid pace of development of artificial intelligence. Congress has passed several bills to regulate AI, which aim to prevent companies from using Section 230 protections to avoid liability for harmful content produced by AI, requiring disclosure in political ads using productive AI. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, these joint efforts between government and tech giants become critical in shaping a future that benefits humanity.
