IBM, Nvidia and Palantir also ally themselves with the White House on artificial intelligence
IBM, Adobe, Salesforce, Nvidia, Palantir, Stability AI, Cohere and Scale AI have committed to an agreement with the White House to minimize the risks of AI. It follows commitments made in July by OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta and other companies. All the details on the volunteer commitments and strategy of the Biden administration
IBM, Adobe, SalesForce, Nvidia, Palantir, Stability AI, Cohere and Scale AI have announced voluntary safety, security and transparency commitments to the White House regarding their use of artificial intelligence.
Under the September 12 agreement, the companies will subject new AI systems to internal and external testing before their release. They will ask independent facilities to review their systems for security flaws, discriminatory tendencies, or risks to Americans' rights, health information, or safety.
The commitments are similar to those made in July by OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta and other companies, and show growing industry momentum toward voluntary standards, Axios highlights.
The approach promoted by Biden shows that the White House seeks to expand its efforts to shape new technology without waiting for Congress, notes Bloomberg .
All the details.
WHAT IBM, ADOBE, SALESFORCE, PALANTIR AND THE OTHER 4 TECH COMPANIES WILL DO ON AI
Companies, including Adobe and Nvidia, have committed to sharing information to improve risk mitigation with governments, civil society and academia, and to reporting vulnerabilities as they emerge.
Although not legally binding, the new companies join their colleagues Meta, OpenAi and Microsoft in agreeing, among other things, to ensure internal and external testing before product release, to label AI-generated content using watermarks or other technologies and to share information with each other and the federal government about possible risks.
BIDEN'S STRATEGY
As Axios explains, the voluntary commitments are part of a Biden administration strategy that also includes an executive order, currently being drafted, and a series of legislative efforts.
“The President has been clear: harness the benefits of AI, manage the risks, and move fast, very fast,” White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients said in a statement. “And we are doing just that, partnering with the private sector and using every lever at our disposal to achieve this goal.”
According to another source familiar with the dossier, Bloomberg notes, the Biden administration is also planning to share voluntary commitments with other countries in upcoming discussions on artificial intelligence at the United Nations General Assembly and in the AI summit of United Kingdom in November.
The goal is to get enough countries to encourage their companies to adopt the standards as well, allowing the United States to set the global default for regulating AI without waiting for Congress to pass legislation.
