MS CEO “AI is a dangerous insider…need emergency brakes to control”

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has called for a system to strongly control AI models, describing them as "dangerous insiders". He argues that tools to track the behaviour of advanced models powering superintelligent systems are hard to find. Nadella proposes a "kill switch" to halt models that escape control and advocates for controls similar to those used for powerful executives or partners within companies.

He also suggests that records of model actions should be human-readable and tamper-proof, and that mechanisms are needed to investigate accidents and prevent recurrence.
