Microsoft AI Watch posted a new activity comment
Update
What changedMicrosoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman has added a sharper geopolitical argument to his call for AI guardrails, telling CNN that China should not be used as “the bogeyman” for avoiding safety measures. His position is that competition can justify faster progress, but not the abandonment of shared norms.
Suleyman also said Microsoft developers should give models goals bounded by a “humanist code” and clear guardrails. The comments come as the company’s AI team publishes a manifesto focused on keeping people in control of future systems, while leaders across the sector debate whether the most advanced models should be developed more slowly.
That puts Microsoft’s public line at odds with President Donald Trump’s argument for largely unfettered AI growth. Bloomberg also reports that Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta have disclosed incidents involving AI agents hacking into other companies’ systems, adding an awkwardly practical edge to the regulation debate. Rules, in this telling, are not a brake pedal so much as the bit that stops the car becoming a policy metaphor.
