"We also need companies and innovators to be our partners in this work," the White House official said."Tech companies have a fundamental responsibility to make sure their products are safe and secure and that they protect people's rights before they're deployed or made public tomorrow."
To that end, the Vice President is scheduled to meet with tech leaders at the White House on Thursday for what is expected to be a"frank discussion about the risks we see in current and near-term AI development," the official said.
The Administration also announced that it has obtained"independent commitment" from more than a half dozen leading AI companies — Anthropic, Google, Hugging Face, Microsoft, NVIDIA, OpenAI and Stability AI — to put their AI systems up for public evaluation at. There, thousands of attendees will be able to poke and prod around in these models to see if they square with the Biden admin's stated principles and practices of the Blueprint.
"These are important new steps to come out responsible innovation and to make sure AI improved people's lives, without putting rights and safety at risk," the official noted.
