WASHINGTON: The White House said on July 21 that OpenAI and others in the artificial intelligence race have committed to making their technology safer with features such as watermarks on fabricated images.

“These commitments, which the companies have chosen to undertake immediately, underscore three principles that must be fundamental to the future of AI – safety, security, and trust – and mark a critical step toward developing responsible AI,” the White House said in a release.
