Yoshua Bengio shares and supports previous AI governance views from Demis Hassabis and Anthropic, suggesting:
- Establishing a regulatory agency to set and enforce standards;
- This would significantly improve AI development safety;
- A clear and precise timeline is needed for the transition from voluntary sharing to mandatory compliance.
The cited text also notes that AGI could arrive within a few years, making this a critical window.
