The United States, Britain, and 16 other countries have introduced what is described as the first detailed international agreement on ensuring the safety of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, Reuters reports.
The non-binding 20-page document emphasizes the need for AI systems to be “secure by design” and includes recommendations such as monitoring AI systems for misuse, safeguarding data from tampering, and vetting software suppliers.
The framework aims to address concerns about AI misuse, including potential security threats and ethical considerations. The agreement represents a significant affirmation that AI capabilities should prioritize security during the design phase.
Participating countries include Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland, Australia, Chile, Israel, Nigeria, and Singapore.
