AI pause is no solution, human control, safeguards key: Thales CEO

Amid a massive global debate on AI risks, Thales Chairman and CEO Patrice Caine has said that stopping the use of artificial intelligence is not the solution, but keeping it firmly under human control is. Calling on tech companies to build in technical safeguards and on governments to put in place a "proper framework" which set boundaries on how such technologies can be used, Caine emphasised that the future impact and outcome of AI would ultimately depend on decisions made by humans. He noted that artificial intelligence has not brought humanity to a stage of existential crisis just yet, but asserted that warnings about its catastrophic risks were important in raising awareness on the issue. In an interview to PTI, Caine spoke on how AI is changing the nature of cyber attacks and cyber attackers, and the urgency for organisations to prepare for the post-quantum era. He also underscored the importance of humans ultimately retaining control over critical decisions. Thales' top boss
