OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki warned that humanity may not be fully prepared for the next generation of highly capable AI systems — a warning former Indian minister Suresh Prabhu relayed and endorsed.
AI is shifting from a tool that assists humans to systems that can reason, operate computers, work autonomously and handle complex tasks. Prabhu argues innovation must go hand in hand with safety, cybersecurity, transparency and accountability, and that the world needs protocols for the ethical handling of AI — keeping it a force that serves humanity rather than something we lose control over.
