Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has called for a fundamental shift in how AI models are developed and deployed, advocating for a proactive approach to security. He stated that all AI models should be assumed to be compromised from the outset, necessitating robust containment technologies and the ability for authorized personnel to pause or shut down models mid-task.
