- Microsoft President Brad Smith described AI on a BBC podcast as both a weapon and a tool that could threaten cybersecurity, and argued that the time has come to create common global safety rules. - Smith said the UK should be well positioned to lead these rules, citing that the UK AI Security Institute (AISI) can receive major models from leading US frontier AI companies before release, and that it has quickly taken a leading position in AI safety testing. - The original article reports that last month President Trump asked Anthropic and OpenAI not to give new models to UK testers. AISI confirmed on Monday that it can access and test the latest models. - Smith called the voluntary commitments that major AI companies signed at a White House event "a good step," but he felt they have limits because voluntary regulation is only followed by responsible companies.

I wonder whether, if a law is passed requiring that a system breach be reported when an incident happens, that kind of wording will also end up in the AI service contracts that small and mid-sized companies sign. The article only lists the rules Smith wants and does not cover the legislative timeline or who the rules would apply to, so it is hard to tell that part from the original text alone. Has anyone asked their vendor whether the product gets an external evaluation before deployment, or whether there is a process for security incident notification?
