Yoshua Bengio, known as one of the modern &#8220;godfathers of AI&#8221;, expressed concern over the lack of appropriate technical and societal guardrails in the AI industry, leading to visible negative effects.<br \/>\n&#8211; The scandal involving Elon Musk\u2019s X platform, where its Grok AI tool was accused of creating non-consensual intimate images, highlighted the industry\u2019s \u201ctoo unconstrained\u201d nature.<br \/>\n&#8211; Bengio has taken steps to address these concerns through the establishment of his AI safety lab, LawZero, which aims to deliver safe, trustworthy AI systems as a global public good.<br \/>\n&#8211; To help guide LawZero\u2019s mission, Bengio appointed prominent figures to its board, including historian Yuval Noah Harari and former Rolls-Royce CEO Sir John Rose, as well as making the foundation\u2019s chair the founder of the Nike Foundation, Maria Eitel.<br \/>\n&#8211; The lab is developing Scientist AI to flag potentially harmful behavior in autonomous systems.<br \/>\n&#8211; Bengio emphasized that AI decisions must consider moral implications, suggesting that moral authority should be part of AI governance.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grok scandal highlights how AI industry is \u2018too unconstrained\u2019, tech pioneer says | AI (artificial&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":178587,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/83e0e68d16b7513b2b9cf3313e88ea35db856e98\/285_0_2500_2000\/master\/2500.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=e539603e1425d231bef1818ad5eb01cc","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-178586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178586"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178586"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178586\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":178588,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178586\/revisions\/178588"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
