US National Security Experts Warn AI Giants Aren't Doing Enough to Protect Their Secrets

Last year the White House struck a landmark safety deal with AI developers that saw companies including Google and OpenAI promise to consider what could go wrong when they created software like that behind ChatGPT. Now a former domestic policy adviser to President Biden who helped forge that deal says that AI developers need to step up on another front: protecting their secret formulas from China. "Because they are behind, they are going to want to take advantage of what we have," said Rice of China. She left the White House last year and spoke on Wednesday during a panel about AI and geopolitics at an event hosted by Stanford University's Human-Centered AI research institute. We really do need to look at this whole spectrum of how do we stay ahead, and I worry that on the security side, we are lagging."
