What is self-policing in AI?

Self-policing in AI refers to the idea that the companies and labs developing AI technologies should take responsibility for ensuring their safe and ethical use. This often involves internal guidelines, safety protocols, and sharing data on potential risks. Washington's proposal for AI labs to 'police themselves' reflects a desire for industry-led solutions to AI safety concerns.
