"Key AI Companies and Leaders Join U.S. AI Safety Consortium to Address Risks"

The Biden administration has announced the formation of the U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC), with over 200 entities including leading AI companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, to support the safe development and deployment of generative AI. The consortium will work on priority actions outlined in President Biden’s AI executive order, focusing on guidelines for red-teaming, capability evaluations, risk management, safety and security, and watermarking synthetic content. This initiative comes amid concerns about the potential risks of generative AI, and aims to establish standards and tools to mitigate these risks while harnessing the technology's potential.
