Major U.S. AI companies, including Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI, have made a commitment to embrace voluntary AI safeguards endorsed by the White House.  The decision was reached during a meeting with President Biden, where the companies agreed to adopt eight specific measures aimed at enhancing safety, security, and trust in AI technology. The measures include third-party model testing, cybersecurity investments, and virtual watermarks for identifying AI-created content. The companies agree to subject their AI systems to independent testing to identify and address potential security flaws. The safeguards have been set in motion while Congress deliberates on implementing long-term regulations for AI. U.S. lawmakers are reportedly considering a bill that would require political campaigns and groups to reveal their use of AI-generated imagery in political ads.
