Microsoft Prez Shows Support For AI Regulation, Highlights How Tech Giant Can Contribute

In an effort to shape the regulatory landscape, major tech companies have provided recommendations on how AI should be governed.

During a recent event in Brussels, Microsoft President Brad Smith reiterated his support for the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) and highlighted how his company can contribute to this endeavour. Smith's message echoed his previous remarks in Washington, where he, alongside Twitter owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, sought to engage regulators and lawmakers in discussions about AI regulation. The emergence of Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT has generated significant public interest in AI, further emphasising the need for regulation.

In an effort to shape the regulatory landscape, major tech companies have provided recommendations on how AI should be governed. By doing so, they hope to minimise any potential adverse effects on their business operations. Notably, the European Union is currently developing the AI Act, an unprecedented set of rules that could serve as a global benchmark for AI regulation.

Smith expressed Microsoft's commitment to contributing constructive ideas to inform the ongoing work on AI regulation. In a blog post, he stated, "Our intention is to offer constructive contributions to help inform the work ahead." During the Brussels conference, he reiterated this sentiment.

Microsoft has developed a comprehensive five-point blueprint for governing AI, aligning with the EU's proposed legislation. The blueprint includes the establishment of government-led AI safety frameworks, the implementation of safety brakes for AI systems overseeing critical infrastructure, and ensuring academic access to AI. Smith emphasised the compatibility of Microsoft's blueprint with the EU's regulatory framework.

Furthermore, Smith called for collaboration on AI governance among various nations, such as the EU, the United States, G7 countries, India, and Indonesia. He emphasised the importance of working together in accordance with shared values and principles.

In conclusion, Microsoft's President Brad Smith continues to advocate for the regulation of AI, stressing the company's willingness to contribute to the ongoing regulatory efforts. Microsoft's five-point blueprint for governing AI aligns with the EU's proposed legislation, and Smith encourages international collaboration in AI governance to ensure consistency and adherence to shared principles.
