Google, Apple, Meta and other huge tech companies join US consortium to advance responsible AI

Some of the world’s biggest tech companies, including Meta and Apple, have joined the US AI Safety Institute Consortium. This entity is tasked with carrying out actions outlined in Biden’s recent AI-focused executive order.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo just announced the group's numerous new members and said that they'll be tasked with carrying out actions indicated by President Biden’s sweeping executive order on artificial intelligence. "The U.S. government has a significant role to play in setting the standards and developing the tools we need to mitigate the risks and harness the immense potential of artificial intelligence," Raimondo said in a statement. Biden’s October executive order was far-reaching, so this consortium will focus on developing guidelines for “red-teaming, capability evaluations, risk management, safety and security, and watermarking synthetic content.”
