The Biden Administration has announced the US AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC), a group of more than 200 companies, including leading AI companies such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. The consortium will focus on the safe development and use of generative AI, addressing the priority actions of President Biden's October AI Executive Order. This includes developing guidelines for red-teaming, risk management, security, and watermarking synthetic content. AISIC will be housed under the umbrella of the U.S. AI Safety Institute (USAISI) and will be the largest gathering of testing and evaluation teams. The goal is to "focus on establishing the foundations for a new measurement science in AI safety," according to the Department of Commerce. The full list of participants can be found here.
