YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAI progress is outpacing our ability to control it… because control ISN’T keeping up with capability.
One of the people raising that concern is Yoshua Bengio.
He’s one of the founding figures of artificial intelligence, a Turing Award winner, and one of the most-cited scientists in the world. His work helped lay the foundations for the deep-learning systems now powering today’s AI boom.
AI is moving fast (faster than regulation and public understanding).
What worries Yoshua isn’t progress itself. It’s how quickly powerful systems are being deployed without a clear way to align them with human values, or to control what happens when they behave in unexpected ways.
We cover:
- Who is responsible when systems act unexpectedly?
- Is regulation keeping up with AI development?
- Why are the people building AI calling for caution?
- What risks worry AI researchers most?
In recent years, Yoshua made a deliberate decision to focus his work on the risks and safety of advanced AI systems.
That choice is rare in a field driven by speed and competition.
He’s clear that there are no perfect answers here, and that the work isn’t about eliminating danger entirely, but about reducing it wherever possible.
It’s measured responsible thinking, and it’s why voices like his matter in this moment.
