Expert opinions on AGI

This suggests pacing the advances: not training or deploying AIs without a strong safety case that convinces independent experts.

I believe that attempting to deliberately pace AI development will be extremely difficult, and could do more harm than good if done without proper care. However, I am signing this statement because, if an attempt at pacing does occur, it would be bet...

Banning advances in artificial intelligence would be a profound mistake. More capable AI systems could accelerate medical breakthroughs, advance scientific research, improve productivity, and lower costs for American families. With policymakers focus...

Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.

I do not think this will happen. I don’t think that automating AI R&D will rapidly produce domain-general superintelligence. I don’t think that a data centre of geniuses, largely separated from the rest of the economy, will figure out how to cure Alz...

Gemini, of course, is very much focused on building AGI and delivering the goals. [...] To build AGI, something that you can put in front of people that they can work with. [...] Success in building AGI still depends on innovation and exploration and...

Many leading companies are engaged in a single-minded pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI). [...] Rather than racing to replace people, we should build AI tools that amplify human expertise and expand opportunity.

I would like to see a CERN for AI [...] where all the top scientists come together and see whether they can make a super intelligence. And, if they can, they contain it into a system where it can't just go out and persuade people to let it run the wo...

It is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced. That’s why I am introducing legislation to immediately pause the development of increasingly powerful AI and ban the creation of systems that hu...

While this may seem dire, none of it is inevitable. The same machines that build drones can build houses and hospitals, and within a decade or so of full automation, it would be possible to extend the living standards of a wealthy American to every h...

If AI delivers even a fraction of its potential, it could generate unprecedented abundance. We could see decades of scientific progress compressed into years, and levels of productivity growth that today seem implausible.

AGI is generally understood as an AI system that can match or exceed human capabilities on most economically valuable tasks. In such a world, the automation of work would not be limited to specific industries or routine jobs. Instead, machines would ...
