Comment by Roman V. Yampolskiy
AI safety researcher, Louisville professor
Until some company or scientist says ‘Here’s the proof! We can definitely have a safety mechanism that can scale to any level of intelligence,’ I don’t think we should be developing those general superintelligences.
We can get most of the benefits we want from narrow AI, systems designed for specific tasks: develop a drug, drive a car. They don’t have to be smarter than the smartest of us combined.

Verified via web search. The quote is from a University of Louisville Q&A interview with Roman Yampolskiy in 2024. The UofL URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the content is confirmed verbatim through search results and Lane Report reprint. Quote attribution is solid. The 'abstain' vote on the statement 'AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence' is reasonable — this particular quote focuses on safety mechanisms and the option of using narrow AI rather than directly opining on the takeoff speed question; it's about whether superintelligence should be built, not whether AGI necessarily leads to it.
