Microsoft's Brad Smith Tells BBC AI Is Less Regulated Than Milk, Pushes Global Rules and Kill Switches

Microsoft President Brad Smith told the BBC that AI faces fewer safety rules than milk or washing machines and called for mandatory incident-report laws, victim-notification requirements and government kill switches. Smith named the UK's AI Security Institute as the body best positioned to lead global AI safety rules, saying Washington views London differently than Brussels. CEO Satya Nadella echoed the push for independent auditability of models.
