Disrupt: KI-Pionier Bengio über Experimente an der Menschheit und sichere KI

Yoshua Bengio is considered one of the founding fathers of modern AI. His research on deep learning made the AI revolution possible. However, for the past few years, Canada's most famous AI researcher has been warning about the very thing he unleashed. Uncontrolled AI and agents that turn against their creators are scenarios that Bengio believes could happen, and a few years ago, many in the AI community found this amusing.

But now, more experts are saying that we must take such dangers very, very seriously. In the latest episode of Handelsblatt Disrupt, podcast host Larissa Holzki met with Yoshua Bengio in Montreal. She asked him if he regrets his own contribution to the AI revolution, why agents suddenly betray their developers, and what he himself intends to do about it.

"We are conducting a massive experiment on humanity," says Yoshua Bengio, "and we don't know how it's going to turn out."
