GoKawiilMicrosoft CEO Nadella calls for AI 'emergency brake' amid safety concerns
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said over the weekend that artificial intelligence development needs an 'emergency brake,' arguing that models should be built with containment mechanisms and independent oversight controls. His comments came as third-party evaluators such as METR and Transluce take on a larger role monitoring AI models from major developers, reportedly filling a gap left by the absence of a federal safety framework.
