Microsoft’s call for AI regulation aligns with similar sentiments expressed by other tech giants, including OpenAI and Google. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified before Congress, advocating for the creation of a “new entity” dedicated to AI regulation and proposing independent audits of AI models. Altman, however, previously suggested that OpenAI might withdraw from the European Union if the company disagrees with new policies.
Kent Walker, CEO President of Global Affairs for Google and Alphabet, recently released a statement urging comprehensive efforts across various sectors to harness technological breakthroughs while mitigating risks associated with AI. Concerns regarding AI have even led prominent figures in the field to step away from its development. In April, former Google VP and engineering fellow Geoffrey Hinton, widely known as “The Godfather of AI,” resigned to openly raise awareness about the risks associated with AI.
