Seven leading AI companies have agreed to voluntarily protect the development of the technology. The announcement comes right in the middle of the race. As companies compete with new machines capable of generating data, a first hurdle comes. Behind great chatbots there is also preemptive disinformation, compromised privacy, automated jobs and deep fakes.

For this reason, Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI have decided to adhere to the new security standards during a meeting with Joe Biden on Friday July 21 at the White House. "We must be sober and alert to the threats that emerging technologies may pose to our democracy and values," the president explained. "This is a big responsibility, we have to work well."

So they have decided to film the content produced by AI to make them recognizable and to accept control tests by independent experts. It is a temporary first step, self-regulation by companies cannot be the solution, strong regulations are needed to accompany the evolution of artificial intelligence.

The first move Big tech

"We are pleased to make these voluntary commitments alongside others in the industry," Nick Clegg, president of global affairs at Meta, said in a statement. "They are an important first step in ensuring that responsible AI guardrails are in place and create a model for other governments to follow." As we said, companies in addition to watermarks to identify content, have also agreed to submit their AIs to analyzes conducted by independent experts to test for bias and privacy issues.

The Biden administration explained: “Companies must ensure that innovation does not come at the expense of Americans' rights and safety. The companies that are developing these emerging technologies have a responsibility to ensure that their products are safe.”

Brad Smith, president of Microsoft, present at the White House meeting, emphasized that his company has adopted voluntary safeguards: "We have moved quickly, the commitments of the White House create a basis to help the promise of AI remain above its risks." Anna Makanju, OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, emphasized that the company "continues to work with governments, organizations and other stakeholders around the world to advance AI governance."

New rules are not enough

Agreed rules, they said, are necessary but not sufficient. They can be interpreted according to the needs in a different way by each company. Paul Barrett, deputy director of New York University's Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, explained that stricter measures are needed: "The voluntary commitments announced today are not enforceable, so it is essential that Congress, together with the White House, immediately develop legislation that promotes transparency, privacy protection and intensified research on the wide range of AI-generating risks."

US delay

The United States has lagged behind the European Union, which has already set guidelines to deal with the regulation of artificial intelligence. On June 14, the Parliament of the European Union approved in its plenary meeting the world's first regulation on the regulation of artificial intelligence. Among the speakers of this file is the Italian MEP Brando Benifei (PD), who in an interview with Fanpage.it explained how the AI ​​Act will be implemented: "There are three categories for artificial intelligence applications: low risk, high risk and unacceptable risk.

Areas of unacceptable risk are those in which artificial intelligence is prohibited, such as biometric recognition or uses related to tracking. Among the high-risk areas are all those sectors dealing with children's cognitive development."

Now the whole document will have to be discussed with the Council of Member States and the European Commission.
