Gary Marcus responded to claims that he never acknowledged AI risks, calling it "the latest lie" about him: his 2023 TED talk "The urgent risks of runaway AI — and what to do about them" explicitly addressed urgent AI risks and the desperate need for international AI governance, with over 1.62 million views. In that talk, Marcus argued untrustworthy tech is being integrated at dangerously high speed and called for a global nonprofit organization to regulate AI for democracy's sake. He asked how dishonest people are going to be about him.
