"OpenAI, Google and More Agree to White House List of Eight AI Safety Assurances"
Some of the largest US-based generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies plan to watermark their content, according to a White House fact sheet released on July 21. Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI have agreed to eight voluntary commitments concerning the use and oversight of generative AI, including watermarking. This agreement follows a March statement expressing the White House's concerns about the misuse of AI. In addition, the agreement comes at a time when regulators are finalizing procedures for managing generative AI's impact on technology and how people interact with it since ChatGPT brought AI content to the public's attention in November 2022.
