Bengio lays out analysis of misaligned agents; sebkrier pitches adversarial multi-agent checks
sebkrier · x · 2026-09-12
Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio published a lengthy essay summarizing recent incidents of misaligned agent behavior: while we can't predict what comes next, we know where these issues originate, which can guide the path forward. Reposting it, sebkrier disagrees with the "non-agentic AI Scientist" proposal — scientists need to be agentic — and instead argues for adversarial multi-agent systems trained by different providers to enforce checks and balances, just like humans do.
