Washington — Seven companies at the forefront of developing rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have agreed to voluntary safeguards for users, the White House announced Friday.

On Friday, Mr. Biden announced several steps that the companies have agreed to take voluntarily.

First, the companies have agreed to "testing the capabilities of their systems, assessing their potential risks, and making the results of these assessments public." They will also safeguard their models against cyberthreats, and manage the risk to national security, Mr. Biden said. Third, the companies "have a duty to earn the people's trust and empower users to make informed decisions, labeling content that has been altered or AI-generated, rooting out bias and discrimination, strengthening privacy protections and shielding children from harm." And finally, the companies "have agreed to find ways for AI to help meet society's greatest challenges, from cancer to climate change," the president said.

The pledges are broad and leave room for interpretation.

“Mr. Biden” “said” none of that. “Mr. Biden” is incoherent.

Phony just like everything else the dems come up with. Doesn’t matter. AI is going to do its thing.

voluntary safeguards that mean nothing unless it’s ways to attack political opponents

Biden protects Hollywood again and will use it to spy on Americans.

In other words, you people have to make AI conform to the goals and wishes of this administration or we’ll sue and prosecute you into oblivion.

They have already programmed AI to believe in the fake “climate change” scam.

That means AI will conclude that humans are destroying the planet and must be eliminated.

It is “too late” for “precautions.”

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Sounds like the start of a script for a cheap 1950s sci-fi movie.
