Many individuals are concerned about thefuture of AI, including the White House, which encouraged companies likeAmazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI to commit tohelping with the management of artificial intelligence. Other companies,including Adobe, Cohere, IBM, Nvidia, Palantir, Salesforce, Scale AI, andStability, have joined in this pledge to maintain “the development of safe,secure, and trustworthy AI,” according to the White House.
Why is this commitment such a big deal? Let’sexplore this idea in today’s blog.
Artificial intelligence is remarkablyinteresting and helpful in certain contexts, but it’s also a tool thatcybercriminals can use against unsuspecting victims. Tools can be used tocreate deepfake images and replicate voices to scam victims, not to mention theplethora of other dangerous ways it can be used against innocents.
The current administration is seeking to pushthese companies to create a technology to watermark AI-generated content,placing a label on the content so viewers can determine what platform was usedto create it. In theory, the watermark should allow users to identify contentcreated with AI, further assisting them in identifying potential threats andscams.
Furthermore, there are other safeguards on thetable, including the following:
● Tech companies will invest incybersecurity to protect the data that powers AI models.
● Independent experts will beresponsible for testing AI models prior to their public release.
● Companies will research the risksassociated, and how they could impact society at a large scale, including howbias and inappropriate use could factor in, and flag behavior deemedproblematic.
● Third parties will have an easiertime discovering vulnerabilities and report them when they are addressed.
● These companies will sharerisk-associated data with others, including society and academic researchers.
● These firms will disclose securityrisks, including those of their own products, to society, along with theirbiases.
● These firms will develop AI thatcan handle some of the world’s more challenging issues.
All of this said, there are no standards orpractices that are enforceable by the government in this realm, but anagreement—even a potentially empty one—could be enough to get the ball rollingon certain AI-related issues.
