David Krueger
Professore assistente di IA all’Università di Montréal, membro accademico principale di Mila e fondatore dell’organizzazione non profit Evitable, promotore della Statement on AI Risk del 2023, che sostiene che senza un cambio di rotta è più probabile che improbabile che l’umanità venga privata definitivamente del proprio potere da un’IA fuori controllo entro cinque anni, dopo di che l’estinzione sarà solo questione di tempo.

We’d have to try and shut down all of them, and that becomes very, very difficult … So, we have a very limited time window in which to act to prevent those kinds of things.

Said of a rogue system that has copied itself across many machines. The sentences either side of these are the reporter's paraphrase carrying one quoted fragment — that “we wouldn’t even know which computers to shut down” — so they are not stitched in here.

Imagine a world where all companies are run by AI, where there are robots all over the place, where basically humans don’t have any work except for nominal work, and even politicians and everyone is deferring to AI because the AI just seems to have such good judgment … That’s the kind of future that we’re headed towards.

If we don’t course correct, it’s more likely than not that humanity will be permanently disempowered from rogue AI within the next five years … And then human extinction at that point is just a matter of time.
Chief Executive Officer, Evitable all’epoca
Said after calling the more-than-one-in-ten odds of human extinction given the week before by an Anthropic safety researcher “way too low”. The ellipsis stands where the page prints an attribution tag (“,” he said. “), so the two halves are consecutive blocks of the same remark rather than one sentence. By disempowered, the page explains, he means a world in which AI is effectively running society.
