Dell CEO Michael Dell Joins Tech Leaders in Calling for AI Model Safeguards and Government Oversight

Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies, said Tuesday that artificial intelligence models require "safeguards and controls," and that government has a legitimate role in ensuring their safe deployment. Speaking amid rising political pressure over AI data center expansion ahead of November's midterm elections, Dell advocated for "bounded permissions" on AI systems—restricting what actions and resources the models can access without human approval.
