Analysis
Nine months ago, President Biden issued a landmark Executive Order aimed at leading the U.S. in effectively managing and capitalising on AI. This order built upon voluntary commitments from 15 top U.S. AI companies secured last year with Vice President Harris’s support. The executive order “built on voluntary commitments” was supported by 15 leading AI companies last year. After signing the October executive order on AI, in April Biden announced further steps taken to regulate AI use to protect safety and worker’s rights. The actions represented some of the strongest government guardrails to date on machine-learning technology, the White House said at the time.
Key Points
- Apple has joined the Biden-Harris Administration’s voluntary artificial intelligence (AI) safety commitments to ensure responsible AI development and mitigate risks.
- By enlisting major tech companies like Apple, the US administration is addressing the ethical and security challenges of AI.
