AI News Tracker: Satya Nadella wants AI oversight as ‘emergency brake’ and a Nikon photo prize is disqualified

Satya Nadella’s AI warning

The AI bosses seem to be ricocheting between pumping in ever more money into developing smarter agents and issuing grave public warnings about AI. A couple of days ago, it was the turn of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to warn against the headlong rush to develop smarter AI without adequate safeguards. In a lengthy Twitter/X post, Nadella wrote that, “…it’s time to step back and assess the trust architecture for this new era.
