AI companies can be innovative and responsible: Markham Erickson, Google executive
Hindustan TimesRegulating artificial intelligence does not need to be a binary choice between self-regulation by companies and strict legal guardrails prescribed by governments, and AI companies can be innovative while behaving responsibly, a top Google executive said on Wednesday. In an interview with HT, Markham Erickson, vice president, government affairs and public policy at Google’s Centers for Excellence, shared the company’s learnings and approach to keeping AI safe, including efforts underway to help differentiate between synthetic, computer-generated text and media, and those created by humans. I am encouraged by the global conversation on this — UK had their AI safety summit a number of weeks ago and a big topic of conversation was this very issue, which is, how do we ensure that governments are aware of the capabilities of highly capable frontier model AI, and that they’re in a position to be aware of those capabilities, and then to ensure that their citizens are protected against negative externalities? We think that’s a good framework because it is efficient to ensure the government has some central expertise on AI, rather than try to have duplicate AI expertise at every agency.
