Microsoft President Urges Global Regulation of AI Citing Safety Gaps
Microsoft president Brad Smith has called for urgent global regulation of artificial intelligence, highlighting that AI currently faces fewer safety requirements than everyday products like milk and washing machines. He advocates for independent oversight, mandatory breach notifications to affected individuals, emergency shutdown mechanisms, and legal obligations for companies to report incidents. Smith praised Britain's AI Security Institute as a potential leader in regulation. The call comes amid ongoing debates about AI risks and the pace of its development.
