Collaboration is key to make AI safer today—and in the future

In order for AI to realize its full potential, it is absolutely critical for it to be safe, secure, and trustworthy, and I am heartened to see the amount of coordination across the public and private sectors to make this a reality. At Amazon, we are committed to harnessing this technology responsibly, working hand in hand with our customers and governments to develop and use AI systems with safety, security, and fairness at the forefront. We support governments’ efforts to implement effective risk-based regulatory frameworks and guardrails while also allowing for continued innovation and practical application of the technology.

In fact, we recently announced our participation in the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium, a group established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to advance safe and secure AI through government and industry collaboration. Through this program, we hope to establish new measurements and methodologies that will promote the development of trustworthy AI and its responsible use. It’s one of many steps we are taking to invest in the future of AI and help inform international standards that will benefit our customers and the communities where we live and work. As the technology industry, policymakers, researchers, and the AI community continue to collaborate on advancing the responsible use of AI, I believe we’re shaping a brighter tomorrow—and the progress is inspiring.
