Apple Agrees to Follow President Biden's AI Safety Guidelines

Apple has joined a group of tech companies agreeing to the Biden administration's voluntary AI safeguards, announced last year. The guidelines aim to ensure responsible AI development by testing systems for discriminatory tendencies, security vulnerabilities, and national security risks. Companies are called to share test results with governments, civil society, and academia for transparency and accountability. The safeguards also include commitments to test for biases and security concerns, though they are not legally binding. Apple's participation comes as it plans to introduce its own AI system and deep integration with OpenAI's ChatGPT. Apple Intelligence will be supported by certain iPhone and Mac models, with features to be released in beta soon and a public release expected by the end of the year.
