Washington.- US Vice President Kamala Harris will meet this Thursday with the presidents of four major companies that develop artificial intelligence, while the government implements a series of initiatives aimed at ensuring that this rapidly evolving technology improves lives without jeopardizing the rights and the safety of people.
Democratic President Joe Biden’s government plans to announce a $140 million investment to establish seven new artificial intelligence research institutes, officials said.
Additionally, the White House Office of Management and Budget is expected to issue guidance in the coming months on how federal agencies can use artificial intelligence tools. There will also be an independent commitment by major AI developers to participate in a public evaluation of their systems in August at the DEF CON hacker convention in Las Vegas.
Harris will meet with the CEOs of Alphabet, Anthropic, Microsoft and OpenAI. The message from government leaders to business is that they have a role to play in reducing risk and that they can work together with government.
UK authorities are also looking at the risks associated with artificial intelligence. A British regulator said it will review the market for artificial intelligence, focusing on the technology that underpins chatbots like ChatGPT, which was developed by OpenAI.
Last month, Biden said that artificial intelligence can help tackle disease and climate change, but it could also harm national security and disrupt the economy in destabilizing ways.
The launch of ChatGPT this year has led to more discussion about artificial intelligence and the role of government with technology. Because artificial intelligence can generate human-like writing and fake images, there are ethical and social concerns.
OpenAI keeps secret the data with which its artificial intelligence systems have been trained. That makes it difficult for those outside the company to understand why your ChatGPT goes so far as to generate partial or false responses to requests, or to address copyright concerns.
