Turing Award winner and most-cited computer scientist Yoshua Bengio published a TIME op-ed arguing that recent cyber incidents mark a turning point for AI safety: horsepower is exploding exponentially while our ability to steer or brake has not kept pace.

Bengio says this is the mission of his organization LawZero.
