Washington, September 15, 2026: Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella has backed a cautious, step-by-step approach to AI development, saying any pursuit of superintelligence must ensure AI benefits humanity and stays under human control.
Nadella called for “deliberate pacing” in AI development and welcomed proposals for independent safety evaluators — echoing recent calls from Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and OpenAI’s Sam Altman to slow the pace of advancement.
Microsoft released a new code of conduct for its AI models on September 14, stating AI should not resist human correction or shutdown. Meanwhile, President Trump has taken a more cautious stance toward slowing AI development, emphasizing the need to maintain US technological superiority over China.
