Sean Duca, Vice President and Regional Chief Security Officer at Palo Alto Networks, has voiced a compelling argument for the need to hold big technology companies accountable for their artificial intelligence (AI) creations. In a recent interview with CNBC-TV18's Ashmit Kumar, Duca shed light on the pressing need for a collective effort to address the ethical and safety concerns surrounding AI.

Duca firmly believes that governments should step up and take a more active role in overseeing the activities of tech giants harnessing the potential of AI. He asserts that while there may not be an immediate need for extensive regulations, it is crucial to initiate a dialogue and collaboration across industries to identify and address the challenges posed by AI technologies.

Duca emphasises, "Big tech companies who have these AI models need to be made accountable, and it is a big thing and something that's warranted as well. We should be spending the time to think about what are those challenges that are out there."

One of the key points Duca highlights is the need for a deliberate and cautious approach when developing and releasing AI solutions. Rushing to market with new technology can inadvertently lead to unforeseen consequences and risks.

In his words, "We should always be thinking about that at all times; they should never be in this race to quickly release a piece of technology or a capability that's out there."
