Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Inflection and co-founder of Google DeepMind, feels the United States, as a semiconductor global leader, should flex its muscles and establish minimum ethical standards for the acquisition of Nvidia AI chips. The AI pioneer further feels firms should pledge their commitment to ethical use.
Google DeepMind co-founder calls for ethical Nvidia AI chips
Essentially, this would entail a restriction on the sale of Nvidia AI chips and only allow those with socially responsible agendas to acquire them. In a Financial Times interview, Suleyman said companies should agree to minimum global standards in line with the pledge of AI leaders to the White House.
This pledge refers to the voluntary undertaking by tech giants such as OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta to openly mark AI-generated material in a bid to make it safer. Suleyman said:
The U.S. should mandate that any consumer of Nvidia chips signs up to at least the voluntary commitments – and more likely, more than that.
To date, the U.S. has restricted the export of microchips, specifically Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices AI chips, to China and other places, such as some countries in the Middle East. Other industry experts have also called for AI regulations to govern this booming technology.
