AWS ‘reaffirms its commitment to responsible generative AI’

Amazon stated in a release on its corporate news site: “As a pioneer in artificial intelligence and machine learning, AWS is committed to developing and deploying generative AI responsibly. As one of the most transformational innovations of our time, generative artificial intelligence – generative AI – continues to capture the world’s imagination, and we remain as committed as ever to harnessing it responsibly. With a team of dedicated responsible AI experts, complemented by our engineering and development organizations, we continually test and assess our products and services to define, measure, and mitigate concerns about accuracy, fairness, intellectual property, appropriate use, toxicity, and privacy. And while we don’t have all the answers today, we are working alongside others to develop new approaches and solutions to address these emerging challenges. We believe we can drive innovation in AI while continuing to implement the necessary safeguards to protect our customers and consumers. At Amazon Web Services, we know that generative AI technology and how it is used will continue to evolve, posing new challenges that will require additional attention and mitigation. That’s why Amazon is actively engaged with organizations and standard bodies focused on the responsible development of next-generation AI systems including NIST, ISO, the Responsible AI Institute, and the Partnership on AI. In fact, last week at the White House, Amazon signed voluntary commitments to foster the safe, responsible, and effective development of AI technology. We are eager to share knowledge with policymakers, academics, and civil society, as we recognize the unique challenges posed by generative AI will require ongoing collaboration.”
