Summary
Official website of Yoshua Bengio, Turing Award-winning AI researcher and deep learning pioneer, who has become one of the most prominent voices advocating for AI safety. The site highlights his current safety-focused work including chairing the International AI Safety Report, co-founding LawZero (a non-profit developing safe-by-design AI), and his 'Scientist AI' framework for building capable but non-agentic systems.
Key Points
- •Bengio chairs the International AI Safety Report, a 100+ expert global assessment of AI capabilities, risks, and safety measures
- •Founded LawZero, a non-profit focused on building 'safe-by-design' AI that is highly capable but lacks autonomous agency or desires
- •Advocates for a 'Scientist AI' architecture as an alternative to agency-driven AI development to reduce existential risk
- •Considered the most-cited living scientist across all fields and a leading voice bridging AI capabilities research and safety concerns
- •Active in AI governance through the UN Scientific Advisory Board and international policy engagement
