"Microsoft advocates for urgent AI regulation in the US"

Microsoft has called for the creation of a new US federal agency to regulate AI and has suggested mandating redundant AI circuit breakers. The company also recommended that federal agencies engaging with AI tools follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology's risk management framework. Microsoft's calls for regulation follow similar remarks from OpenAI and Google. Concerns about AI have led to people walking away from its development, while Microsoft's Brad Smith compared AI's significance to that of the printing press or electricity.
