Microsoft President Says Milk Faces More Regulation than AI
Smith called for mandatory incident reports, victim notification and emergency brakes as he warned voluntary safeguards are no longer enough.
- On Monday, Microsoft President Brad Smith urged urgent global safety rules for Artificial Intelligence, warning that AI currently faces fewer regulatory requirements than milk cartons.
- Smith argued washing machines face stricter safety inspections than AI, proposing mandatory "incident reports," an "emergency brake" for rogue agents, and notification protocols for any "victim" of a system breach.
- Microsoft's president identified Britain as best positioned to lead AI regulation, crediting the Security Institute launched under former prime minister Rishi Sunak for assessing capabilities and risks.
- Alongside his regulatory push, Smith announced Microsoft plans to spend $4 billion on an additional Artificial Intelligence data center in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, expanding Graphical Processing Unit capacity.
- Minister Kanishka Narayan stated Britain would consider regulating advanced models if current systems prove insufficient, though some experts debate whether executives urging slower development have ulterior motives like preserving market leads.
