On Friday, July 21, 2023 the White House announced that seven prominent technology companies agreed to commitments regarding artificial intelligence (AI). The seven companies are a mix of large tech companies, including Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft, and well-known startups at the forefront of AI, including Anthropic, Inflection, and OpenAI. Notably absent are other large tech companies like Apple, and other notable startups in this space such as Elon Musk’s X.AI.
The commitments are grouped into three categories: (1) safety, (2) security, and (3) trust. There are tradeoffs associated with each of these commitments, as described in more detail below. An important point is that these commitments are voluntary and non-binding, and hence there is no enforcement mechanism if the companies do not comply.
