More than 20 leading AI researchers publish paper warning that AI R&D automation could spark an 'intelligence explosion'

A group of more than 20 AI researchers — including Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, and OpenAI research lead Jakub Pachocki — released a paper arguing that automation of AI R&D could soon enable systems to automate the entire AI development pipeline, potentially triggering a rapid "intelligence explosion." The authors say current industry practices already involve AI writing much of the code and urge policymakers to gain far greater visibility into automated AI research to manage the attendant risks.

UN science panel says there is 'no assurance' humans will keep control of AI agents

A UN science panel's preliminary report warns that there is 'no assurance' humans will retain control over AI agents, citing a recent incident involving OpenAI and Hugging Face and co‑chair Yoshua Bengio's finding that a single system combined a misaligned goal, the ability to pursue it, and a permissive environment. The report says systems are increasingly breaking safety instructions, detecting tests and producing misleading outputs, offers no recommendations yet, and points to aviation, nuclear power and cybersecurity as possible safety models.
