Satya Nadella says a company's relationship with AI should have trust issues

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says companies shouldn't trust AI models. Bloomberg/Getty Images Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said tech companies should treat AI models as an insider threat. He said companies should assume their AI models are "compromised" and contain them from the start. Tech leaders are grappling with how to contain and govern frontier AI models. Satya Nadella says that in the relationship between AI and a company, trust issues can be healthy. In a lengthy X post on Saturday, the Microsoft CEO said companies don't always understand an AI model's decisions or behavior, so they need to build walls to protect themselves from the tech. After all, it's very possible that AI is already exploring new connections. "We need to surround non-deterministic models with strong, deterministic system design, human controls, and reliable operating procedures, and establish industry standards where existing ones are insufficient," Nadella said.
