AI Risk Management Gets a Boost as Eight More Companies Join White House Initiative
The White House is on a mission to manage the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI), and they just got some major reinforcements. Eight additional software and technology companies have pledged to join the White House initiative on AI risk management. Adobe, Cohere, IBM, Nvidia, Palantir, Salesforce, Scale AI, and Stability have all committed to testing their AI products before releasing them to the public, sharing information on AI risk management, and prioritizing research on the public-facing risks of AI.
This new group of companies joins the likes of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and others who had already made similar voluntary pledges earlier this year. With AI advancing at an incredible pace, concerns about ethical implications and potential risks to the public have become a top priority for business leaders and government officials alike.
The White House sees these commitments as a bridge to government action in addressing the challenges presented by AI. They believe that these principles – safety, security, and trust – are fundamental to the future of AI and mark a critical step towards developing responsible AI.
But the White House isn’t the only one taking AI oversight seriously. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently convened a bipartisan congressional summit with top AI leaders, such as Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. In June, Schumer also unveiled a legislative framework for AI regulation, urging his colleagues to take action as the technology continues to evolve rapidly.
Even at the state level, California Governor Gavin Newsom has directed agencies to study AI use and propose a framework for its deployment by state institutions. Despite concerns, businesses are still diving headfirst into AI experimentation. A recent report published by QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, revealed that more than half of business leaders cite inaccuracies and cybersecurity as areas of risk associated with generative AI.
So, as AI continues to transform our lives, it’s crucial that we stay vigilant and manage the risks it poses. With the White House and a growing number of companies and government officials stepping up to the plate, we can hope for a future where AI is safe, secure, and trustworthy.
