Microsoft's Brad Smith Says UK Best Placed to Lead Global AI Regulation

Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith said the U.K., not the U.S. or EU, is best placed to lead global AI safety rules. In the BBC's Oct. 12 Big Boss Interview, he cited Britain's AI Security Institute, launched in 2023, which gets pre-deployment access to U.S. frontier models for safety testing, and said Washington views London differently than Brussels.
