(MT Newswires) -- Marc Benioff, CEO and co-founder of Salesforce, shares his views on several current issues. He calls for strict regulation of artificial intelligence and strongly criticizes the illegitimate use of data for the development of AI models, an act he equates to theft. He also describes social media as total chaos and blames regulatory authorities for their lack of action. Regarding the competition between Salesforce's Slack and Microsoft's Teams, Benioff highlights Microsoft's strategies of integrating its new products with its existing solutions, a tactic that, in his opinion, should be scrutinized by regulators.
