Comment by Jason McEwen

Interim Chief Scientist and Mission Director for Fundamental Research in AI at the Alan Turing Institute; Professor at University College London.
The scientific work now is to ensure reasoning of powerful AI models remains observable as they become more capable, or to build the tools to read it where it is not, and to verify that complete AI systems, not just the models inside them, can be relied upon in real-world use.
