The co-founder of Google DeepMind, Mustafa Suleyman, has urged the United States to restrict access to Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips to customers who agree to use the technology ethically.
Suleyman told the Financial Times that the US should impose basic international standards for the use of AI and that businesses should at the very least agree to uphold the same guarantee made to the White House by top AI firms.
OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta are just a few of the AI businesses that voluntarily pledged to the White House in July to put safety precautions in place, like 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 countries.
Executives and industry professionals have urged AI developers to collaborate with legislators on governance and regulatory bodies.
