tegmark · x · 2026-09-28
MIT professor Max Tegmark shared the arXiv paper The 2026 Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities, urging the community to focus on building solutions to AI problems rather than only discussing risks.
The paper is co-signed by over a hundred researchers and policy figures across academia, industry, and government — including Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russell, Dawn Song, Andrew Yao, Zhang Ya-Qin, and Dan Hendrycks — laying out a joint 2026 agenda of prioritized AI safety research areas spanning frontier model risk assessment, alignment, and governance. The unusually broad international author list makes it a notable cross-border consensus document.
