Together with Twitter-owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Smith has
sought to court regulators and lawmakers with calls for
regulating AI, a technology that has drawn massive public
interest with the arrival of Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Big Tech has shared suggestions on how best to regulate AI,
which could help to blunt some of the impact of such rules on
their business.
The European Union is working out the details of rules known as
the AI Act, a global first that could set the benchmark for
other countries.
"Our intention is to offer constructive contributions to help
inform the work ahead," Smith said in a blogpost. He
subsequently reiterated his message at a conference in Brussels.
He said Microsoft's five-point blueprint for governing AI, which
includes government-led AI safety frameworks, safety brakes for
AI systems that control critical infrastructure and ensuring
academic access to AI aligns with the EU's proposed legislation.
Smith also urged the EU, the United States, G7 countries, India
and Indonesia to work together on AI governance in line with
their shared values and principles.
