Abstract
The rapid evolution of AI development in the past few years is transforming social, economic, and political domains. Capabilities of frontier systems have been advancing constantly, and this pace introduces significant risks. Yoshua Bengio, the world's most-cited living scientist, discusses the urgent societal and technical safeguards needed to mitigate these dangers and shares an update on LawZero, his new research organization dedicated to building safer AI.
