Yoshua Bengio

Well, here's the good news.

The scientist AI could be used as a guardrail against the bad actions of an untrusted AI agent.

And it works because in order to make predictions that an action could be dangerous, you don't need to be an agent.

You just need to make good, trustworthy predictions.

In addition, the scientists, by nature of how it's designed, could help us accelerate scientific research for the betterment of humanity.

We need a lot more of these scientific projects to explore solutions to the AI safety challenges.

And we need to do it quickly.

Most of the discussions you hear about AI risks are focused on fear.

Today, with you, I'm betting on love.

Love of our children can drive us to do remarkable things.

Look at me here on this stage.

I'm an introvert.

Very far from my comfort zone.

I'd rather be in my lab with my collaborators working on these scientific challenges.

We need your help for this project and to make sure that everyone understands these risks.

We can all get engaged to steer our societies in a safe pathway in which

the joys and endeavors of our children will be protected.

I have a vision of advanced AI in the future as a global public good governed safely towards human flourishing.

For the benefit of all, join me.

Thank you.
