# [Nadella: treat advanced AI as an insider threat, build an emergency brake](https://securteksecurity.com/news/nadella-treat-advanced-ai-as-an-insider-threat-build-an-emergency-brake)

   10th Oct 2026  

Satya Nadella published a framework for frontier AI safety: assume any model is compromised, separate the model from the orchestration harness, externalize controls, require tamper-proof human-readable evidence for model actions, and keep an authorized human able to pause or shut down a model mid-task. His closing line: the most trustworthy system will be the one that lets us trust the model the least. It follows Microsoft's September guiding principles on human control.
