Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio published a long-form essay summarizing his thoughts on the recent incidents involving agents' misaligned behavior. He argues that while we can't know with certainty what comes next, we do know where these issues originate — and that knowledge can help plan the path forward. Bengio also invited readers to ask questions in the replies, promising to answer some over the coming weeks.
