Digital Watermarking Pioneer to Contribute
Expertise to Advance the Development and Deployment of Safe,
Trustworthy AI Under New U.S. Government Safety Institute
Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), the pioneer and global
leader in digital watermarking, today announced it has joined more
than 200 of the nation’s leading artificial intelligence (AI)
stakeholders to participate in a Department of Commerce initiative
to support the development and deployment of trustworthy and safe
AI. Established by the Department of Commerce’s National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. Artificial
Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC) will bring
together AI creators and users, academics, government and industry
researchers, and civil society organizations to meet this
mission.
“Digimarc commends NIST on the formation of the Artificial
Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium, and we look forward to
collaborating with a prestigious group of technology experts to
promote the development of trustworthy AI and its responsible use,”
said Digimarc Chief Technology Officer Tony Rodriguez. “The new
consortium’s charter aligns closely with our commitment to ensure
the tools and technology to protect content creators and consumers
are readily available."
“The U.S. government has a significant role to play in setting
the standards and developing the tools we need to mitigate the
risks and harness the immense potential of artificial intelligence.
President Biden directed us to pull every lever to accomplish two
key goals: set safety standards and protect our innovation
ecosystem. That’s precisely what the U.S. AI Safety Institute
Consortium is set up to help us do,” said Secretary Raimondo.
“Through President Biden’s landmark Executive Order, we will ensure
America is at the front of the pack – and by working with this
group of leaders from industry, civil society, and academia,
together we can confront these challenges to develop the
measurements and standards we need to maintain America’s
competitive edge and develop AI responsibly.”
The new consortium’s priorities align with those outlined in the
October 2023 Executive Order (EO) for the safe, secure, and
trustworthy development and use of AI. Digimarc supports the bold
directive in the EO, including its guidance on the role of tools
like digital watermarking in this critical effort and the need to
balance protecting the rights of the public and private sectors
while seizing the innovative potential of AI.
Consortium member companies and organizations include leaders on
the frontlines of developing and using AI systems, as well as civil
society and academic teams that are building the foundational
understanding of how AI can and will transform our society.
The full list of consortium participants is available
here.
“Digimarc is committed to contributing solutions and
facilitating collaboration across industries and sectors to
safeguard the development and deployment of AI,” said
Rodriguez.
Most recently, Digimarc co-hosted the AI Summit with the Center
for Security in Politics at the University of California, Berkeley.
Digimarc has also shared its knowledge and expertise as a
participant in the bipartisan Senate Forum on AI in Washington,
D.C. To learn more about how Digimarc is protecting content
