Amazon: AI Should Be Released When Ready and Safe

Amazon has stated that artificial intelligence (AI) models should be released only after undergoing rigorous testing and being deemed safe.

According to Bloomberg and other outlets on the 17th (local time), Amazon spokesperson Tom Parnell said in an email statement, "We do not view this as a choice between progress and safety. Models should be released when they are ready for use and determined to be safe, which is ensured through rigorous testing and robust safeguards."

He added, "If the entire industry does not adhere to this, risks could arise. We believe that as an industry cooperating with governments, we will establish the right protective measures."

This marks Amazon's stance on the debate over slowing down AI development, which was sparked by Anthropic.

Amazon's position differs from Anthropic's proposal to slow down development speeds.

Although Amazon, the world's largest cloud company, has also developed its own AI model Nova, its Nova models have not yet reached a level where they can compete with cutting-edge models from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon's cloud computing division, serves as a partner and investor for AI companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI.
