  "account": "In a recent interview with the BBC, Microsoft president Brad Smith cautioned that artificial intelligence currently faces fewer safety regulations than milk. Smith advocated for a global set of safety rules, including a requirement for victims to be informed of breaches by rogue AI agents and an emergency brake. He also proposed that companies write incident reports, a practice already in place for other products. Smith noted that washing machines and milk cartons are subject to more safety rules than AI, highlighting the need for comparable regulations in the AI sector. The tech company president suggested that the UK, with its AI Security Institute, could take the lead in regulating AI due to its AI Security Institute, which pre-deploys models and evaluates their risks.",
