Seven AI companies agree to safeguards after pressure from the White House

Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and other tech firms agree to AI safeguards set by the White House.

President Joe Biden said Friday that new commitments by Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft and other companies that are leading the development of artificial intelligence technology to meet a set of AI safeguards brokered by his White House are an important step toward managing the “enormous” promise and risks posed by the technology.

Biden announced that his administration has secured voluntary commitments from seven U.S. companies meant to ensure that their AI products are safe before they release them. Some of the commitments call for third-party oversight of the workings of the next generation of AI systems, though they don’t detail who will audit the technology or hold the companies accountable.

The Global Alliance for Digital Governance is ready to contribute to this mission as a third party to oversight AI productions.

From February to April 2023, Boston Global Forum organized a series of BGF High-level Conference to build the Framework for Global Governance of AI and announced BGF Framework for Global Alliance of AI on April 30, 2023.
