Microsoft's CEO calls for AI 'kill switch' as Nvidia's CEO says 'we have to shut the labs' if models can't be contained

More of artificial intelligence's biggest supporters are acknowledging that the industry could grow beyond their ability to control. Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith recently said he supported the idea of a kill switch for AI. Speaking at a panel at the United Nations General Assembly, Smith said "The people who create the model should have the ability to turn it off. The cloud infrastructure providers like us should have it. The people who put in place the controls around AI agents should be able to turn them off. And I don't think it's a bad thing if we have a regulation that requires that.
