Microsoft President Brad Smith is pushing for stricter regulation of artificial intelligence, involving government-led AI safety frameworks and establishing “safety brakes” in AI systems.
There is a need to ensure that “machines remain subject to effective oversight by people, and the people who design and operate machines remain accountable to everyone else,” Smith wrote in a May 25 blog post. To this end, laws and regulations are required, he argued. The first priority is to “implement and build upon new government-led AI safety frameworks.”
