White House convenes tech CEOs for AI risk reduction initiatives.
The White House is hosting its first AI meeting with the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Anthropic and OpenAI, as the Biden administration unveils a plan to promote responsible AI development. The administration also announced a new investment in “trustworthy” AI alongside voluntary commitments from major tech companies to participate in a public assessment of their AI systems at an upcoming cybersecurity conference. The meeting comes as Washington policymakers increasingly contend with the threats and risks posed by artificial intelligence. The Biden administration’s investment in responsible AI research and development is a $140 million grant, which will increase the number of national AI research institutes.
