Palantir, Adobe, IBM, Nvidia, Salesforce, and other U.S. Tech firms taking White House AI Pledge
And of course, tech firms are known for being honest, forthright, and keeping their promises.
2 years from now: We’re sorry. We’re really sorry…
Don’t be evil!
I thought this was a The Onion headline
“Palantir” made me giggle. Who is next? Mark “The Eye of Sauron” Zuckie?
Trust me bro
This is stupid. Bind them by law or don’t fucking bother.
Being “bound by law” barely matters either. They’ll do it anyway and just pay a really minor fine and continue to do it anyway.
Then make the fine bigger? EU’s GDPR for example has a max fine of 10% global revenue
Cost of business TM
Isn’t a pinky swear enough?
Write in federal prison terms for any CEO who’s company is convicted of AI misuse or abuse and I’ll happily negotiate whether the minimum mandatory sentence should be higher or lower than 10 years.
Said it before I’ll say it again, verbal contracts from any business is just lip service. Unless it comes with the real and actionable threat of destroying the business if they don’t comply to the letter then they will reneg on the deal the second it becomes inconvenient
I 100% thought this was an Onion article. Reality is disappointing lately.
Palantir?? I mean the others deserve cynicism too but the company whose whole job is evil and named itself after a surveillance tool explicitly used for evil?
Biden, you gotta make them pinky swear! It’s not legally binding without that!
How does that pinky swear line up with a business model of “Move fast and break things”?
What a fucking crock of shit.
The White House: Well that doesn’t sound very profitable
Lol.
Phew.
I will not be partaking in this pledge
