▶️ Stronger safeguards from developers: Leading AI developers recently activated enhanced protections on their most capable models as a precautionary measure, given possibilities like misuse to build weapons.

▶️ Signals of real-world adoption: In a recent survey, a majority of software devs report using AI tools daily to help design experiments, process data, and write reports.
Yet we still don’t know much about AI use in other domains, nor about how AI use affects productivity overall.

▶️ The rise of “reasoning” models: Recent gains have come mainly from techniques allowing models to generate interim steps before producing answers.
AI capabilities can advance through post-training techniques and more computing power at inference time, not just through scaling model size.

This op-ed published in the @nytimes.com by Stephen Witt thoughtfully captures the urgency and complexity of navigating AI's risks, but also my sincere conviction that technical solutions are possible — we still have agency and an opportunity to act.

Ce fut un plaisir de discuter avec Daron Acemoglu des impacts sociaux, politiques et économiques de l’IA sur scène hier à Montréal.
Toutes mes félicitations à Daron Acemoglu pour son doctorat honoris causa de l'UQAM.

I got the chance to join Daron Acemoglu onstage yesterday for a great discussion on AI’s social, political and economic impacts.
Congratulations @dacemoglumit.bsky.social on receiving an honorary doctorate from UQAM — a well-deserved honour and a pleasure to see you in Montréal!

I recently spoke to the @wsj.com about my concerns with AI's trajectory, and the current competitive dynamics which push AI's capabilities forward without sufficient safety assurances.
Thanks to Isabelle Bousquette for a great conversation!

A ‘Godfather of AI’ Remains Concerned as Ever About Human Extinction
Yoshua Bengio worries about AI’s capacity to deceive users in pursuit of its own goals. “The scenario in “2001: A Space Odyssey” is exactly like this,” he says.

We need global cooperation to steer AI toward a safe and beneficial future, and I was very pleased to see so many people come together these past few days with that shared goal.
It was an honour to speak at the United Nations this week to address the UN Security Council on the impacts of AI on international peace & security, and to join the high-level multi-stakeholder informal meeting to launch the Global Dialogue on AI Governance.
