AI safety researcher; MIRI president
You don't need to give up ChatGPT. You don't need to give up self-driving cars. You don't need to give up on the medical advancements. [...] It's not that the current use needs to stop. It's just that the race to make smarter and smarter machines that nobody understands need to stop. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search (Marketplace returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch). The Marketplace article (March 23, 2026) and corroborating sources confirm Nate Soares (MIRI president) said "You don't need to give up ChatGPT," that you can keep self-driving cars and medical advancements, and "It's not that the current use needs to stop. It's just that the race to make smarter and smarter machines that nobody understands need to stop." Author attribution and year (2026) are correct, and source_url is the primary source. The "for" vote on "Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached" aligns strongly with Soares's explicit call to shut down the race to build superintelligence that no one understands. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 15d ago
