Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella flags risks of advanced AI models amid OpenAI agent incidents, calls for ‘emergency brake’

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said companies should consider powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models as potential insider threats, operate on the assumption that they could be compromised and establish an “emergency brake” mechanism to prevent agentic AI systems from going rogue.

Nadella said organisations deploying advanced AI models should not depend solely on assurances provided by the companies developing them.
