We might have AI that is smarter than any human by end of this year, and no later than next year. And probably 2030 or 2031 -- 5 years from now -- AI will be smarter than all of humanity collectively. [...] I said years ago that humans are just the '... more Unverified source (2026)

Until some company or scientist says ‘Here’s the proof! We can definitely have a safety mechanism that can scale to any level of intelligence,’ I don’t think we should be developing those general superintelligences. We can get most of the benefits w... more Unverified source (2024)

For the last-invention story to hold, people would have to become unnecessary even as partners or supervisors to AIs. [...] We would need a world where practical know-how is fully transferable through digital channels and where responsibility can be ... more Unverified source (2026)

The primary prerequisite to even considering starting to work on a safe ASI plan is to have a global ASI ban and powerful enforcement already in place. Unsafe ASI is vastly easier to build than controlled ASI, and is on the same tech path. [...] The ... more Unverified source (2026)

Developing superintelligence is not like playing Russian roulette; it is more like undergoing risky surgery for a condition that will otherwise prove fatal. [...] Models incorporating safety progress, temporal discounting, quality-of-life differentia... more Unverified source (2026)

AI is likely to close the technology divide, because it is so easy to use and so abundant and so accessible. [...] I'm optimistic about the potential of AI to lift the countries that are emerging. [...] We need to make sure that the average pensioner... more Unverified source (2026)

I do not believe there's going to be like a singular, identifiable point where the economy is going to take off, and there's going to be abundance. [Whether AI's benefits are widely shared] is a political question, has nothing to do with technology. Unverified source (2026)

I think it's now. I think we've achieved AGI. [...] It is not out of the question that a Claude [model] was able to create a web service, some interesting little app that all of a sudden, you know, a few billion people used for 50 cents, and then it ... more Unverified source (2026)

I think there are ways in which [the pursuit of artificial general intelligence] is a misguided agenda. [...] It would have huge social consequences that are quite adverse. Unverified source (2026)

We will refer to such a lab as the Global Public Benefit AI Lab (or "Lab"). The Lab will be an open, public-private, democratically-governed consortium, aimed at achieving and sustaining a solid global leadership or co-leadership in human-controllab... more Unverified source

To mitigate the “race to God-like AI,” Ian Hogarth—chair of the U.K. AI Safety Institute—proposed an “Island model,” in which a joint international lab performs research on superintelligence in a highly secure facility. An essential part of this pro... more Unverified source (2024)

So the the prototypical situation I'm imagining here is you know there's a kind of one ai project, which is you know somewhat ahead of the others, and maybe it it goes through intelligence explosion, whereas which by which I mean kind of AI can autom... more Unverified source
