Should we create a global institute for AI, similar to CERN?
Yoshua Bengio strongly agrees and says:
In order to reduce the probability of someone intentionally or unintentionally bringing about a rogue AI, we need to increase governance and we should consider limiting access to the large-scale generalist AI systems that could be weaponized, which would mean that the code and neural net parameters would not be shared in open-source and some of the important engineering tricks to make them work would not be shared either. Ideally this would stay in the hands of neutral international organizations (think of a combination of IAEA and CERN for AI) that develop safe and beneficial AI systems that could also help us fight rogue AIs. source Verified -
Should we ban future open-source AI models that can be used to create weapons of mass destruction?
Yoshua Bengio strongly agrees and says:
I think it's really important because if we put something out there that is open source and can be dangerous – which is a tiny minority of all the code that is open source – essentially we're opening all the doors to bad actors [...] As these systems become more capable, bad actors don't need to have very strong expertise, whether it's in bioweapons or cyber security, in order to take advantage of systems like this.

Is open-source AI potentially more dangerous than closed-source AI?
Yoshua Bengio strongly agrees and says:

Should third-party audits be mandatory for major AI systems?
Yoshua Bengio strongly agrees and says:
This would require comprehensive evaluation of potential harm through independent audits (2023) source Unverified
