We need international agreements [...] the benefits of advanced AI will be shared. Otherwise it’s not going to be a very stable world.

AI Verified The quote is authentic and the cited source URL contains it. On the 80,000 Hours episode page published May 7, 2026, the transcript attributes the passage to “Yoshua Bengio:” at lines 615–622, beginning “We need international agreements” and ending “the benefits of advanced AI will be shared. Otherwise it’s not going to be a very stable world.” The [...] omission is faithful, and the stored author, date, source URL, and content are consistent with the source.

Disputed The 80,000 Hours transcript from May 7, 2026 does attribute closely related remarks to Yoshua Bengio, including: “We need international agreements … making sure it’s not a single party who can decide what to do with AI” and, later, “And finally, that the benefits of advanced AI will be shared. Otherwise it’s not going to be a very stable world.” But I could not confirm the exact quoted wording as a single verbatim passage: the source separates these lines, presents them in the opposite order, and the submitted quote drops words such as “And finally, that.” So this is not an exact verified quote from the cited source.

AI Verified Quote confirmed via web search as being from Yoshua Bengio's appearance on the 80,000 Hours podcast (Episode 243, April 16, 2026). Search results confirm both the exact phrasing about "not going to be a very stable world" and Bengio's broader argument about international agreements and preventing single-party control of AI. Vote "for" the statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" aligns directly with Bengio's call for benefits to be shared. WebFetch on 80000hours.org returned 403 but search confirms the attribution. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
