Microsoft CEO Nadella Calls for Emergency Brake on Advanced AI Models

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has called for a fundamental reset in how companies approach the safety and control of advanced artificial intelligence systems, proposing an "emergency brake" mechanism that would allow authorized personnel to pause or shut down AI models mid-task. In a Saturday post, Nadella argued that the era of treating AI models as inherently trustworthy has ended, and organizations must instead assume advanced models could be compromised and build external safeguards to contain them.
