Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Backs Need for Evaluators for AI Systems Amid 'slowdown' Debate
He backed independent evaluators with ongoing access and said AI governance must include governments, academia and the wider technology ecosystem.
- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella backed a measured approach to AI development today, endorsing "embedded evaluators" and affirming that superintelligence must remain under human control and benefit humanity.
- Nadella's intervention follows warnings from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who cited risks including loss of control and cyberattacks, prompting industry calls for safety standards and third-party oversight.
- Nadella warned that governance "cannot be controlled by a handful of entities, but must have broad representation across the ecosystem, countries, and fields, including academia." He argued firms should build their own "continuous learning loop/hill climbing machine" to avoid vendor lock-in.
- Microsoft announced it will publish a "Code of Conduct" for its first-party MAI models for public consultation, establishing a regulatory floor for AI development across the company's platforms.
- While OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have called for a slowdown, Nadella's measured approach seeks to ensure AI benefits are distributed broadly across countries and communities rather than concentrated among few firms.
