Adobe, IBM, And Nvidia Support Joe Biden's Decision On Artificial Intelligence

Adobe, IBM, Nvidia, and five other companies have signed a voluntary commitment regulating artificial intelligence (AI) launched by US President Joe Biden, requiring measures such as watermarking content generated by AI. This was announced by the White House on Tuesday, September 12.

The initial commitment, announced in July, aims to ensure that AI power is not used for destructive purposes. OpenAI's Google, OpenAI, and OpenAI partner Microsoft signed the commitment in July.

"The president has explained: take advantage of the benefits of AI, manage the risks, and move quickly - very quickly," White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients said in a statement. "And we are doing that in partnership with the private sector and using all the tools we have to solve it."

The five other companies that signed the commitment were Palantir, Stability, Salesforce, Scale, and Cohere.

A number of companies are expected to attend a meeting at the White House on Tuesday with Trade Minister Gina Raimondo and Zients to discuss the topic.

The voluntary commitment supported by the Biden administration is considered a temporary measure given that Congress has discussed the potential for legislation related to AI but nothing has been proposed and nothing has become a significant law. The White House has also worked on executive orders related to AI.
