The U.S. released an all-star list of tech companies that will participate in its AI safety consortium including Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia and Google, calling the initiative the “first of its kind.”
The United States Department of Commerce announced on Feb. 8 the creation of its AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC), filled with a hefty list of participants from every corner of the tech industry.
Gina Raimondo, the Secretary of Commerce, said the consortium aims to “unite AI creators and users, academics, government and industry researchers, and civil society organizations” to foster an environment that creates safe and trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI).
AISIC will be responsible for developing guidelines for red-teaming, evaluating AI capabilities, risk management, safety and security and watermarking synthetic content – the latter of which is a key issue.
