Microsoft proposes AI emergency stop button, rejects legal personhood

Microsoft is proposing the integration of an emergency stop button for its AI systems, alongside a stance against granting legal personhood to AI.

    Microsoft propose d'intégrer un bouton d'arrêt d'urgence dans ses IA et de refuser leur personnalité juridique. Sur le fond : un kill switch présuppose une chaîne de contrôle claire — ce qui est loin d'être trivial dans des systèmes distribués. La vraie question est moins philoso…
