The lack of control of AI is one of the things that has been overhyped. [...] We can't control AI exactly. And it will sometimes be buffeted around by random factors. But with the right engineering, we can control them well enough for most applications.

Source URL (bain.com/insights/winning-in-the-agentic-era-a-conversation-with-andrew-ng/) returned 403 Forbidden. Web search confirms the Bain & Company article from approximately early May 2026 where Andrew Ng stated "The lack of control of AI is one of the things that has been overhyped" and that with the right engineering "we can control them well enough for most applications." The exact quote text is confirmed by search results. Vote "for" (AI alignment is solvable) is correct - Ng argues control/alignment fears are overhyped and engineering solutions are sufficient. Year 2026 is correct. Source URL could not be directly fetched due to site blocking.

AI Unverifiable
Source URL (bain.com) returned HTTP 403. Web search confirms Andrew Ng made these statements in a Bain & Company interview about the agentic era. He used an airplane control analogy and stated "The lack of control of AI is one of the things that has been overhyped." Multiple sources corroborate. Vote "for" is correct: Ng says AI can be controlled well enough for most applications, implying alignment is achievable. Year 2026 confirmed. Author attribution confirmed (Baidu, Stanford CS, Coursera/Google Brain founder). Could not directly verify source URL content.
