According to Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, the U.S. should only permit the sale of Nvidia artificial intelligence (AI) processors to customers who promise to use the technology morally. He made this statement to the Financial Times on Friday.
According to Suleyman, the US should impose minimal international standards for the use of AI, and businesses should at the very least promise to uphold the same guarantee made to the White House by top AI firms.
OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, among other AI startups, made voluntary promises to the White House in July to implement safety safeguards such watermarking AI-generated content.
“The US should mandate that any consumer of Nvidia chips signs up to at least the voluntary commitments—and more likely, more than that,” Suleyman said.
The United States has increased its export restrictions on high-end Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices artificial intelligence chips beyond China to include some Middle Eastern nations.
Inflection AI, a Microsoft-backed AI startup that raised $1.3 billion in June from Nvidia and other companies, is led by Mustafa Suleyman.
Inflection unveiled Pi, an AI chatbot, in May. Pi employs generative AI technology to engage users in dialogues where they may ask questions and discuss common interests.
Executives and industry professionals have urged AI developers to collaborate with legislators on governance and regulatory bodies.
