## Satya Nadella
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella calls for emergency brake controls on AI models to prevent loss of control.
## Trust Architecture
Nadella argues AI systems cannot be treated as nested black boxes whose recommendations are accepted or rejected.
## Separate Controls
Nadella proposes moving AI model controls and safeguards outside the model itself for better safety.
## Tamper-Proof Evidence
Every meaningful action by an AI model should be recorded with tamper-proof, human-readable evidence.
## Emergency Brakes
AI systems should allow authorized personnel to pause or shut down models mid-task to prevent compromise.
## Compromise Assumption
Developers should assume AI models are compromised and contain them from the outset, like emergency brakes.
## Key takeaway

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella urges emergency brakes on AI models to halt actions if compromised.
