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 w... more Verified source

Frontier AI systems could surpass most individuals across most cognitive tasks within just a few years. These advances could unlock solutions to major global challenges, but they also carry significant risks. To safely advance toward superintelligenc... more Verified source (2025)

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... more Verified source (2023)
