Netherlands digital minister smacks down Big Tech over AI regs
Singapore's ATxSG conference has opened with a feisty encounter in which Microsoft's president for Asia argued that bad AI's worst effects - even deaths - may need to be tolerated.
Van Huffelen was the sceptic, with Mazhari and Strier happy to position the tech as being led by boundary-testing pioneers driving innovation and the economy in the face of wet blanket governments. Mazhari then claimed that Microsoft was both willing and already participating with governments and institutions to ensure his company provides “the trust that [AI] technology deserves.”"It is interesting to hear that - before you may go further with this, because we presently see the technology that your company is now putting to market. You're a shareholder in OpenAI, which is actually not adhering to these principles yet, right?" Van Huffelen pointed out.
"But I mean, are you going to adhere to those rules?” said Van Huffelen, leading the Microsoft exec to respond that the software giant adheres to the rules of the jurisdiction it operates in.
