Biden-Harris Administration Launches AI Safety Consortium with Major Tech Firms

Over 200 companies, including tech giants and academic institutions, join forces under U.S. government leadership to develop AI safety standards.

Over 200 leading firms, including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, have joined the Biden-Harris AI Safety Institute Consortium to address AI safety and trustworthiness.
The consortium, led by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, will develop guidelines for AI risk management, safety, and security, following President Biden's executive order.
Participants include a wide range of stakeholders from big tech companies to academia and civil society, aiming to set federal standards for AI deployment.
The initiative seeks to balance the advancement of AI technology with the need for safety and responsible use, amid concerns over national security, privacy, and misinformation.
The consortium represents a significant step by the U.S. government to formally regulate AI development, complementing efforts by other entities like the European Parliament.
