US Says Leading AI Companies Join Safety Consortium to Address Risks
- The Biden administration has announced the formation of the U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC), which includes leading artificial intelligence companies like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Apple, Amazon.com, Nvidia Palantir, Intel, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America.
- The consortium, which also includes BP, Cisco Systems, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Northop Grumman, Mastercard, Qualcomm, Visa, and major academic institutions and government agencies, will work on priority actions outlined in President Biden’s October AI executive order, including developing guidelines for red-teaming, capability evaluations, risk management, safety and security, and watermarking synthetic content.
- The consortium will focus on creating foundations for a “new measurement science in AI safety.”
- The Biden administration is pursuing safeguards for the use of AI, but efforts to pass legislation addressing AI have stalled despite numerous high-level forums and legislative proposals.
