Microsoft’s Smith urges AI regulation and backs UK leadership
Smith proposed mandatory breach notifications and questioned whether voluntary commitments can address risks from less responsible AI companies.
Microsoft President Brad Smith called for governments to adopt global AI safety regulation, saying Britain has an advantage over the United States and European Union in leading that work. Speaking on a podcast, he warned that AI threatens cybersecurity and argued that oversight of its developers lags behind regulation of milk and washing machines.
Smith said Washington views London differently from Brussels, giving Britain an opening to advance AI rules. The country’s AI Security Institute, established in 2023, has access to leading U.S. laboratories’ models before deployment.
According to a media report, U.S. President Donald Trump asked Anthropic and OpenAI to stop sharing new models with British testers. The institute nevertheless confirmed that it remains able to examine the latest models.
Technology companies attending a White House meeting with Trump agreed to have independent auditors assess their AI models for safety and capabilities. Smith welcomed the commitment but argued that it falls short of necessary regulation. Responsible companies would follow voluntary rules, he said, while less responsible businesses remain the concern.
Smith advocated a requirement to inform an organization when rogue AI agents breach its systems. He also appeared to favor outside evaluators approving AI products before release and supported mechanisms to halt or slow AI when humans lose control.
