Q&A with AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio on advocating for AI regulation, his support for California's AI safety bill, AI achieving human-level intelligence, and more
NEW: I talked to legendary AI researcher Yoshua Bengio about why he's worried we're running out of time to regulate AI, and why he supports AI safety bill SB 1047. “It's going to create an incentive for companies to not be the worst student in the class” https://www.bloomberg.com…
Bengio told me that for years, he didn't worry too much about AI risks, because he thought we were still far away from AI reaching human intelligence. Then ChatGPT came out. “I've completely changed my mind after we ended up with machines that can talk back to us,” he said
