India, Oct. 12 -- Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, but are safety regulations keeping pace? Microsoft president Brad Smith believes they are not, arguing that everyday products such as milk and washing machines face stricter safety requirements than AI systems. His warning comes amid concerns over autonomous AI agents, cybersecurity threats and corporate accountability.

In an interview with the BBC, Smith called for stronger safeguards governing artificial intelligence, including legal accountability when rogue AI agents cause harm.

"Right now, your washing machine is subject to more safety rules than AI. Every carton of milk that you see in the grocery store is subject to safety rules and inspection," he said.
