Nadella: Superintelligence Race Needs 'Deliberate Pacing' With Alignment as Design Goal
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-09-14
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella laid out principles for the pursuit of superintelligence, arguing the race needs brakes: any pursuit must be grounded in the principle that AI not helping humanity and not under human control isn't worth pursuing, and 'deliberate pacing is needed to get alignment right as the design goal.' He also called for broadly diffusing AI benefits via a frontier ecosystem where closed and open-source models thrive, and urged firms to retain full control of their tacit knowledge by building their own continuous learning loops without depending on any single model provider.
