Expert opinions on AGI

Achieving [human-level AGI] would have profound and far-reaching impacts on human society. ... AI progress might continue to accelerate over the next years. This could imply that the image of a single transformative step change, caused by the introdu...

Throwing more words and GPUs into the word-guessing program won't make it sentient. [...] one of our mares gives birth to a locomotive.

This creates what we call the “Abundance Flywheel”: commit compute to a hard problem, focus R&D until it clears, watch the domain collapse from artisanal craft to industrial utility, capture the surplus, and reinvest it into the next target. Repeat u...

AI could make goods and services cheaper than ever, raising hopes for a new age of abundance where scarcity plays a smaller role in human life.

Using practical theories tested in the real world across different circumstances—as opposed to opinions or analyses based on data that does not yet exist—suggests there may be important twists ahead that should lead us to question whether a “world of...

The UK must lead an international agreement to prohibit the development of superintelligence until it can be proven safe. If we fail, every other ambition for our country risks being swept aside. The clock is ticking.

The question that the noble Lord posed was: do we therefore go for a moratorium? That would be highly desirable, but I do not think that it will be possible in the short term.

What is needed is not to slow innovation but to harness it — to channel AI’s momentum toward outcomes that reinforce trust, safety and societal well-being.

Such technological advancement will provide society with invaluable tools to address critical global challenges, including drug discovery, economic growth and climate change.

This is going to be the most productive decade in the history of our species. But in order to truly reap the benefits of AI, we need to learn how to contain it. Paradoxically, part of that will mean collectively saying no to certain forms of progress...

There’s no such thing as AGI. There is human-level AI, but human intelligence is extremely specialised. So calling it general intelligence is complete nonsense.

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...

I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine superintelligence.
