Brad Smith said Microsoft needs tighter global safety rules because AI is less regulated than everyday products like milk and washing machines. He urged mandatory incident reporting and a legal obligation to notify a victim if a rogue AI agent breaches a system, plus independent sign-off before release. He also called for “emergency brakes” such as kill switches and argued the UK should lead global AI standards, putting him at odds with Donald Trump’s view that the US should regulate itself.
