Building Trust in Technology Standards

The basic idea is that we wanna give the American

people and our customers confidence that the technology works in

the way that we intend, right? So every company is building something

that's a

little bit different. You know, having one set of, like, standards for

what is-- what everyone should wanna build, um,

people want to do some different

things. But I think what we can all agree on

is that the American

public and our customers wanna know that what we're building

is working in the way

that we all intend. So we drafted a set of, of principles and

commitments around building robust internal controls and

detecting if there are any issues with the technology,

coupled with,

uh, multiple layers of, of auditing and controls,

starting with internal risk review, external auditors and

evaluators, and agreeing that we're gonna have all of our boards of

directors independently review the reports that come from the

auditors. I think that these are good steps forward.

The idea isn't that this is the only thing that we will ever do,

it is that this is

a start and an accord that the whole industry could come to,

and I

was very proud, uh, to have that discussion with,

uh, a number of our colleagues who I think

are running great companies.

Um, you know, it was sort of a, a historic conversation.

I don't think anything like this has come before and, um, I think this is a

meaningful step forward
