AI Promises: One Year Later, Still a Work in Progress

One year after AI giants like Amazon and Google pledged to develop AI safely, progress is a mixed bag. From bug bounties and watermarking to privacy research, they’re making strides. However, critics argue that voluntary commitments are like letting students grade their own exams—progress, but…

Hot Take:

“AI companies make promises to the White House and then kind of, sort of, maybe keep them. But hey, at least they’re trying, right?!”

Key Points:

  • Seven leading AI companies committed to voluntary guidelines for safe AI development.
  • Progress has been made, but significant gaps remain in areas like governance and protection of rights.
  • Efforts include red-teaming, watermarking AI content, and sharing best practices among competitors.
  • Some companies are investing in cybersecurity and third-party vulnerability reporting.
  • Research on AI societal risks and contributions to solving global challenges continue to grow.
