Google DeepMind co-founder says US should enforce AI standards for ethical use
da-kuk
The co-founder of artificial intelligence firm DeepMind, now owned by Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), said that the U.S. should let Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) artificial intelligence chips only be used by countries that are willing to do so ethically.
"The US should mandate that any consumer of Nvidia chips signs up to at least the voluntary commitments â and more likely, more than that," Mustafa Suleyman said in an interview with the Financial Times. "That would be an incredibly practical chokepoint that would allow the US to impose itself on all other actors [in AI]."
Nvidia (NVDA) recently disclosed that it had received "an additional licensing requirement for a subset of A100 and H100 products destined to certain customers and other regions, including some countries in the Middle East."
Separately, it was reported this week that AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) had also received an informed letter with similar restrictions.
Following media reports on the topic, the Biden Administration said it "has not blocked chip sales to the Middle East."
Over the past several months, the Biden Administration has discussed the opportunities and risks associated with artificial intelligence, both with his advisers and the broader technology industry, including some of the largest companies, including Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT).
In April, the administration laid out a formal request for comment to look into potential regulation for artificial intelligence products and services amid concerns about development in the industry.
"A failure to regulate AI will harm the economy, potentially diminish individual rights, and constrain the development and introduction of beneficial technologies," the business lobby wrote in a 14-page letter.
