Microsoft President Brad Smith warns that AI development is progressing faster than safety regulations, calling for mandatory global AI safety rules and independent government evaluations. He highlights recent AI safety breaches and suggests the UK is well-positioned to lead AI regulatory frameworks amid US political reluctance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML, and 3 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for an imminent wave of mandatory AI safety rules and independent audits led by UK frameworks. This raises the risk of non-compliance shutting down your AI systems and opens the door to new compliance services.
