Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and other leading companies in artificial intelligence technology have agreed to adhere to a set of safety measures regarding AI, facilitated by the Biden administration. According to the Associated Press, the White House announced on Friday that it has secured voluntary commitments from seven American companies to ensure the safety of their AI products before they are released and distributed. The increase in commercial investment in generative AI tools, which can write human-like persuasive texts and generate new images, sounds, and videos, has raised concerns about their ability to deceive people and spread misinformation, along with other risks. The White House stated that four tech giants, along with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, and several other startups, have committed to having security tests conducted by independent experts to protect against major risks such as biosafety and cybersecurity. These companies have also committed to using methods to report vulnerabilities in their systems and employing digital watermarks to help distinguish between real images and those generated by AI, known as deepfakes. The White House added that they will also publicly report existing flaws and risks in their technology, including its impacts on fairness and discrimination.
