The seven countries, Alphabet, Amazon, Anthropic, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI, said they will continue to share information on how to reduce risks to cybersecurity.
As part of their pledge, the companies agreed to watermark AI-generated content – making it easier for users to spot deep fakes and generated text.
The companies have reportedly pledged to test the systems rigorously before releasing them to the public.
As well as this, the seven companies told the US government that they will focus on ensuring all generative AI is free of discrimination and bias, according to Reuters.

In the UK, the government has pledged to fund £100m into an AI taskforce, which has been made up of experts throughout the industry and academia.
Ian Hogarth, the new leader of the taskforce, said: “The Prime Minister has laid out a bold vision for the UK to supercharge the field of AI safety, one that until now has been under-resourced even as AI capabilities have accelerated.”
