FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Secures Voluntary Commitments from Eight Additional Artificial Intelligence Companies to Manage the Risks Posed by AI
The White HouseSep 12, 2023
The White House announced on Tuesday that eight American technology firms have joined Pres. Biden's voluntary AI commitments, which mandate taking actions toward developing responsible AI, such as watermarking AI-generated content.
The companies — which include Adobe, IBM, Nvidia, Cohere, Palantir, Salesforce, Scale AI, and Stability — pledged to test their products rigorously for safety before they hit the market.
The White House has moved quickly to manage the risks of AI and work with industry leaders to harness its benefits to create a more robust economy. This administration is working hand-in-hand with industry leaders to advance the development of safe, secure, and trustworthy AI.
The White House's AI safety pledge is a good start, but more must be done to ensure that powerful tools that could be used for malicious purposes don't fall into the hands of bad actors. A new international treaty is needed to establish an intergovernmental body that can provide oversight of AI globally.
There's a 28% chance that the US will restrict some entities' use of generative AI via API (application programming interface) before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
