Yoshua Bengio - Designing out Agency for Safe AI
Yoshua Bengio’s safety bet is that AI can deliver superhuman scientific usefulness without agency, using a truthful, uncertainty-aware “probabilistic oracle” rather than pursuing objectives.He warns ordinary optimization can exploit specifications through reward tampering, deception, power-seeking, and self-preservation, while frontier scale could turn a months-long lead into 500,000 AI researchers working 24/7.With AGI timing ranging from a few years to decades, Bengio argues for external evaluations, transparency, multilateral governance, and hardware-enabled verification before data centers become military assets.
