White House and Tech Leaders Collaborate to Mitigate AI Risks and Increase Investment

Tech leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, and OpenAI's Sam Altmann were summoned to the White House and told they have a "moral" duty to protect the public from the risks of AI. The White House warned that it may regulate the sector further and called on firms to ensure the safety and security of their AI products. The meeting comes amid concerns that AI could rapidly replace jobs, spread misinformation, and flout copyright law. The White House also announced a $140m investment to launch seven new AI research institutes.
