Microsoft president: AI is less regulated than milk, calls on UK to lead global rules

Microsoft president Brad Smith says AI is subject to less regulation than milk and washing machines, and calls for global AI safety rules led by the UK. He argues that companies must set a "kill switch," submit incident reports when AI goes out of control, notify victims, and have new products reviewed by independent government assessors before release. He says the UK, with its AI Security Institute, is best placed to advance these rules, putting him at odds with US President Trump, who favors industry self-regulation.
