NoteThe source confirms both components of the claim: (1) Yoshua Bengio is recognized as a deep learning pioneer (described as 'one of the world's leaders in AI and deep learning' and recipient of the 2018 Turing Award), and (2) he is now an AI safety advocate (explicitly stated that in 2023 he decided to devote his career to 'mitigating catastrophic AI risks' and founded LawZero in 2025 for this purpose). The claim's 'as of 2026-03' date is consistent with the source's current presentation (the image filename references 2026), making this a current/accurate characterization.
