The White House recently persuaded Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI to sign a document dictating several voluntary commitments for ensuring a “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy” AI. Many things could change in the months to come, starting with a yet unknown watermarking system that should provide users with an easy way to detect AI-generated content.
Companies developing AI systems have a responsibility to ensure that their products are safe, the White House said, upholding the “highest standards” to nurture innovation while preserving Americans’ rights and safety at the same time. The commitments, which companies have seemingly chosen to undertake “immediately,” should mark a critical step toward developing responsible AI technology.
