08:57 AM EDT, 07/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Apple ( AAPL ) has agreed to adopt a set of voluntary AI safeguards crafted by the Biden administration, media reports said Friday.

The iPhone maker joins OpenAI, Amazon ( AMZN ) , Alphabet (GOOG), Meta Platforms ( META ) , Microsoft ( MSFT ) and others in committing to certain safety tests on their AI models for any national security risks, the White House announced Friday.

President Joe Biden in 2023 signed an executive order requiring developers to share results of safety tests on their AI systems with the government. It also requires that tech companies simulate attacks on AI models using federal standards to expose vulnerabilities.

Apple ( AAPL ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
