Suleyman backs Nadella: containing superintelligence is an engineering and governance challenge

Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman endorsed Satya Nadella's new article Models as Insider Risks in the Super Intelligence Era, arguing that superintelligence must be contained.
Key points:
- Containment is, today, an engineering and governance challenge rather than pure speculation;
- Humanity has successfully contained planes, cars, nuclear materials, food safety and medicines — superintelligence governance can follow the same playbook;
- Nadella's original argument: traditional software allowed tracing behavior to a specific code path, but in the superintelligence era models act like insider risks, demanding new traceability and governance mechanisms.
