"They are among more than 900 public figures from business, tech, the arts, and media who have called for a ban on the development of the technology until there's a scientific consensus that it can be done safely. Two of the "godfathers of AI," Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton, are also among the statement's signatures, alongside business leaders such as Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak and Virgin founder Richard Branson."
""We call for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and strong public buy-in," the statement, organized by the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit, said. Those concerned about the potential of powerful AI have raised concerns about job losses, the loss of control over AI systems, and the possibility of human extinction."
More than 900 public figures from business, technology, the arts, and media signed a statement calling for a halt to superintelligent AI development until scientists reach consensus that it can be built safely. Signatories include AI pioneers Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton and business leaders such as Steve Wozniak and Richard Branson, alongside cultural and political figures. The statement, organized by the Future of Life Institute, demands broad scientific agreement and strong public buy-in before resuming development. Signers cite risks including job losses, loss of control over AI systems, and the possibility of human extinction. Some experts counter that superintelligence may take decades and will be controllable.
