20 Sep
Summary
- Concerns about China's AI progress shouldn't halt safety rules.
- Microsoft AI chief argues against using China as a scare tactic.
- Guardrails are needed for rapidly advancing AI technology.

Concerns regarding China's progress in artificial intelligence should not serve as a justification for delaying the establishment of safety guardrails for the rapidly advancing technology. This perspective comes from Microsoft Corp.'s artificial intelligence chief, Mustafa Suleyman.
Suleyman indicated that the argument should not be based on China's development. He believes that using China as a reason to avoid making progress on AI safety measures within other nations is a flawed approach.
He stressed the importance of implementing guardrails for AI, given its swift advancement. The focus should remain on developing responsible AI practices, irrespective of geopolitical competition.
