Artificial Intelligence needs urgent global regulation with independent evaluators able to vet new developments, the president of Microsoft said, warning that AI currently faces fewer safety requirements than milk.
\n\nIn an interview with the BBC published on Monday, Brad Smith said a set of global safety rules needed to be in place, requiring a ”victim” to be informed if their system is breached by a rogue AI agent and an ”emergency brake” available.
\n\nHe said there should also be a legal requirement for companies to write ”incident reports”.
\n\n”We know how to do this for other products,” Smith said. ”We should build on that knowledge and think about how to apply it to AI.”
\n\n”Right now, your washing machine is subject to more safety rules than AI. Every carton of milk that you see in the grocery store is subject to safety rules and inspection.”
\n\nTech companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI have started disclosing rogue or undesired behaviour by AI agents as part of a global debate about the fast-advancing technology that has included researchers’ warnings of an eventual existential threat to humanity.
