Sharjah 24 – Reuters: President Joe Biden announced on Friday that a number of companies developing artificial intelligence software, including OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, have made voluntary commitments to the White House to implement measures such as watermarking AI-generated content to help make the technology safer.
The companies - which also include Anthropic, Inflection, Amazon.com and OpenAI partner Microsoft pledged to thoroughly test systems before releasing them and share information about how to reduce risks and invest in cybersecurity.
Biden, who is hosting executives from the seven companies at the White House on Friday, is also working on developing an executive order and bipartisan legislation on AI technology.
As part of the effort, the seven companies committed to developing a system to "watermark" all forms of content, from text, images, audios, to videos generated by AI so that users will know when the technology has been used.
This watermark, embedded in the content in a technical manner, presumably will make it easier for users to spot deep-fake images or audios that may, for example, show violence that has not occurred, create a better scam or distort a photo of a politician to put the person in an unflattering light.
It is unclear how the watermark will be evident in the sharing of the information.
