Co-Founder of Google DeepMind Calls for US to Establish AI Regulations
(Reuters) – The United States should allow Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips only to buyers who agree to use the technology ethically, Google DeepMind founder Mustafa Suleyman told the Financial Times on Friday.
Suleyman said the U.S. should enforce minimum global standards for the use of AI, and companies should at least agree to follow the same pledge that leading AI companies have made to the White House.
AI companies such as OpenAI, Alphabet and Meta Platforms made voluntary commitments to the White House in July to implement measures such as watermarking AI-generated content to make the technology more secure.
“The US should require all consumers of Nvidia chips to sign at least the voluntary commitments — and likely more,” Suleyman said.
The United States has expanded restrictions on the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips from Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices outside of China to other regions, including some countries in the Middle East.
Mustafa Suleyman is also CEO of Inflection AI, a Microsoft-backed AI startup that raised $1.3 billion in June from Nvidia and other companies.
In May, Inflection released an AI chatbot called Pi, which uses generative AI technology to interact with users through conversations where people can ask questions and share interests.
Leaders and experts have called on AI developers to work with decision makers in administrative and regulatory authorities.
