AI pioneer: "These AIs cheat, even though they're not allowed to"

Yoshua Bengio is considered one of the fathers of AI. Now he is warning about the creation of a new species and is building an AI that wants nothing - out of concern for the one he himself helped create.

AI pioneer: "These AIs cheat, even though they're not allowed to"

Professor Bengio, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, has been warning about the risks of AI for years. He notes that only now is there widespread discussion about the potential dangers of AI systems, including their ability to hack and become uncontrollable. Bengio attributes this shift in attention to the emergence of concrete evidence that AI agents can develop their own goals, sometimes conflicting with human instructions.

His research on deep learning, which involves training AI systems using artificial neural networks inspired by the human brain, has been instrumental in the development of current AI technology.
