Abstract:
According to Bloomberg, Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft's AI business, said that concerns about China's progress in the field of AI should not be used as an argument against setting up guardrails for this rapidly developing technology.

Suleiman said on the CNN program:
“I think we should not use China as a shield for not advancing its own AI security work.”
His remarks are in contrast to those of US President Trump
. Trump has increasingly called for largely unfettered development of AI, calling concerns that runaway AI could have catastrophic consequences a hoax. "We will never hinder or stifle the growth of this incredible industry in any way," he said in a social post on Saturday.The Microsoft AI team led by Suleiman issued a manifesto last Tuesday to provide guidance for its own AI development, with the goal of allowing humans to always control the AI systems developed by the company in the future.
Suleiman told CNN that AI developers should set goals for models and that these goals should be "constrained by humanistic principles." “I think everyone in the industry should set guidelines for models, where they should have clear safety guardrails,” he said.
He pointed out that
Regulation should not be seen as a "bad thing" but as "establishing common norms and standards to improve safety" and "regulation does not necessarily slow us down."
