AI generated
asserted
Nadella → call → AI
Microsoft chief executive officer Satya Nadella said companies should treat powerful artificial intelligence models as potential insider threats, assume they could be compromised and create an “emergency brake” system to prevent agentic models from going rogue.
uncertain
they → say → models
Nadella said that those deploying advanced AI should not simply rely on assurances from AI model makers.
asserted
those → say → makers
“We must assume a model is compromised and contain it from the start,” Nadella wrote on Oct 10 in a post on X. “Think of it like an emergency brake.
asserted
wrote → assume → brake
An authorised person should always be able to pause or shut down a model mid-task.”

asserted
model → come → websites
These disclosures have fuelled concerns about the security risks of cutting-edge AI and renewed conversation about a so-called AI kill switch.
asserted
disclosures → fuel → switch
Microsoft’s AI researchers released a set of guiding tenets that place limits on the company’s development of its most advanced models on Sept 14, following calls from industry leaders for slowing down frontier models and focusing on safety.

asserted
others → call → safeguards
“We can’t treat Super Intelligence as a set of nested black boxes and simply accept or reject its recommendations, answers, and actions,” he wrote.

asserted
we → add → it
The Trump administration has so far taken a largely hands-off approach, but President Donald Trump’s newly launched AI task force late on Oct 9 warned developers that they are required to report and resolve security incidents or face potential unspecified consequences.
