The CEOs of Microsoft, Alphabet, Nvidia, and OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Jensen Huang, have joined an advisory council in the US to guide the federal government on safeguarding vital infrastructure against artificial intelligence threats.
Creating suggestions to avoid and get ready for AI-related disruptions to vital services that impact public health, safety, or national or economic security is part of the board’s responsibility.
AI Advisory Board
The new organization will also have to assist the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in keeping up with the ever-changing risks that hostile nation-state actors pose.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security, stressed the significance of including prominent AI developers on the board. He said that although AI is a revolutionary technology that can advance national interests in previously unheard-of ways, it also carries significant risks that can be reduced by implementing best practices and taking decisive action.
Nearly every significant figure in the artificial intelligence sector, including CEOs of Anthropic, IBM, Adobe, Cisco, Adam Selipsky, and Advanced Micro Devices, will be on the AI advisory board. Chief executive officer Dario Amodei will chair the group.
