Interview: Microsoft-Präsident Brad Smith fordert Notbremse für die KI-Entwicklung
Der Vize-Verwaltungsratschef von Microsoft fordert, die KI-Entwicklung zu bremsen – bevor ein schwerer Unfall passiert. Im Interview sagt er, was er von Regierungen und Unternehmen erwartet.
In a recent interview, Brad Smith, Microsoft's President and Vice Chair, warned of the dangers of uncontrolled Artificial Intelligence (AI). In 2019, his book "Tools and Weapons" presented warnings about AI growing out of control, a notion that sounded like science fiction. Now, Smith, who is 67, calls for a "kill switch" to prevent a catastrophe caused by rogue AI agents.
He believes that acting now is crucial. Speaking to the Business Times at the sidelines of the EU's "AI Summits" in Dublin, Smith urged his industry to invest more in safety. He stated that if a tech race must be won, it must be done by investing more in security first. "And if that means a slower pace at the top to catch up on security, then slower," Smith added.
For Smith, Germany and Europe are not out of the race by any means. "You don't have to lead in invention to lead in innovation and application," he said. The greatest mistake a country, like a company, can make, Smith believes, is to envy others' success and lose sight of their own strengths.
