Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, wants artificial intelligence companies to commit to extending existing voluntary pledges to all of their systems and make more commitments to address high-risk areas like real-time facial recognition.
The push comes after the White House announced a series of voluntary commitments on AI safety, security and transparency from Inflection AI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI and Amazon last month and echoes requests Warner made to the White House at that time as well.
Those commitments included the development of a watermarking system for AI-generated content; public reporting on systems’ limitations and capabilities; and pre-release, independent, internal and external security testing.
