Brad Smith urges global rules for Artificial Intelligence to protect people.
Proposed measures include an emergency stop button and mandatory incident reporting.
He compares current regulations for everyday products, like milk and washing machines, to the lack of rules for Artificial Intelligence.
The United Kingdom’s Artificial Intelligence Institute and the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act are mentioned as models.
He proposes an “emergency brake” that can shut down a rogue Artificial Intelligence system and a requirement for companies to file incident reports.
