Amazon Calls for Global Alignment on Responsible AI Policies

Amazon is calling for urgent global alignment on responsible AI policies, arguing that collaboration between governments and companies is crucial to securing US economic prosperity and security.

In a recently published blog post, Amazon’s senior vice president of global public policy, David Zapolsky, wrote that global alignment on responsible AI measures would enhance American innovation in the long term.

“For the US and our allies to unlock the benefits of AI while minimizing its risks, we must continue to work together to establish AI guardrails that are consistent with democratic values, secure economic prosperity, and security, ensure global interoperability, promote competition and enhance safe and responsible innovation,” Zapolsky wrote.

Increasing focus is being placed on responsible AI considerations as the technology continues to gain traction.

The recent AI Safety Summit in Seoul, South Korea saw several leading technology companies, including Amazon, pledge to publish the safety measures they’re taking when developing foundation models.

Zapolsky said milestones like the AI Safety Summit “laid the groundwork for international interoperability” but added that he wants future rules to protect against risks and not harm innovation.
