Vice President Kamala Harris plans to announce the creation of a US AI security institute in a speech on Wednesday as part of her visit to Britain for a summit on the security of emerging technologies.
The Security Institute, as part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, will develop technical guidance for regulators on actions in areas such as verifying human-generated content and watermarking AI content, as well as efforts to combat algorithmic discrimination and improve privacy standards. be taken into account. . The institute will also create benchmarks and best practices to assess and mitigate AI risks.
Harris’ speech comes in conjunction with the Global Summit on AI Safety, a two-day event at Bletchley Park that will feature global leaders and executives from technology companies. Expected attendees include Elon Musk and OpenAI founder Sam Altman, as well as UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Harris is also expected to announce draft policy guidance on the US government’s use of AI, a policy statement on the military use of AI, and a $200 million philanthropic initiative funded by 10 foundations to ensure that AI in public interest is used.
The initiatives complement steps the Biden administration has recently taken to create off-rails for the technology. President Joe Biden this week issued an executive order on AI that requires companies to report their security test results to the US government. Biden and Harris secured a number of voluntary commitments from AI companies during a White House meeting last summer. One of these was a commitment to develop watermarking tools to identify synthetic content.
In her speech, Harris will say: “To define AI security, we need to consider and address the full spectrum of AI risks – threats to humanity as a whole, threats to individuals, our communities and our institutions, and threats to our most vulnerable ones. “. vulnerable populations. For AI to keep us safe, we have to deal with all these dangers.”
