Comment by Yoshua Bengio

It doesn't make sense that private individuals are deciding the fate of infrastructure for everyone else. What about all the companies and all the countries that didn't get access?

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. WebFetch on the Fortune URL returned HTTP 403, but a targeted web search confirmed the verbatim quote "It doesn't make sense that private individuals are deciding the fate of infrastructure for everyone else" appears in the Fortune article (2026/04/17) about Anthropic's Mythos release and AI concentration of power, with the follow-on point about businesses/countries excluded from access matching the article. Author attribution is correct (Yoshua Bengio, Turing Award winner / AI pioneer). His vote "for" the statement "The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity" aligns with the quote's warning about concentration of power in private hands. Year 2026 matches the article date. Source URL is the primary source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 19d ago
