“I would like to see a Cern for AI, where all the top scientists come together and see whether they can make a super intelligence. And, if they can, they contain it into a system where it can’t just go out and persuade people to let it run the world. Right now, though, given the division sown in part by that red corner of the web, we are “very, very far from a Cern for AI”, he says.
“We have got AI being done in these huge companies, but also in these huge silos. They’re not looking over each other’s shoulder. They’re just sitting there, inside their own company, looking at their own system, trying to make it smarter. I don’t see a way that we can get to a point where the scientific community gets to look at the AI and to decide whether it is safe or not.”
