Turing Award laureate Yoshua Bengio said he was invited to address the UN Security Council on the unprecedented threat posed by uncontrolled frontier AI agents.
He argued humanity has mustered the courage and wisdom to manage catastrophic risks before, that this moment dwarfs any personal, commercial, or national interest, and that today's choices about the technology will shape generations to come: "We must act now." The retweet added the metaphor "a car speeding into dense fog."
