AI less regulated than milk, Microsoft president says in warning over safety

Microsoft president Brad Smith warns that artificial intelligence is less regulated than milk and washing machines, calling for urgent safety measures including "kill switches" to pause AI systems if they malfunction and legal liability for victims of rogue AI agents. His comments add to growing calls from tech leaders, experts, and regulators for tougher AI oversight, with Britain's AI minister preparing to announce new legislation and safety requirements for companies developing advanced AI models.
