6.1 Nick Bostrom
📖 AI researchers underestimate the odds of solving AI alignment problem.
“We are optimistic about the future of AI safety. We may even be too optimistic.”
— Nick Bostrom, AI Safety: The Case for Orthogonality
In recent years, there has been growing optimism about the future of AI safety. Some experts believe that we are on the cusp of solving the AI alignment problem, which would allow us to develop AI systems that are aligned with our values and goals.
“The AI alignment problem is much harder than we think.”
— Nick Bostrom, The Superintelligent Will: Motivation and Instrumental Rationality in Advanced AI Agents
The AI alignment problem is the problem of ensuring that AI systems are aligned with our values and goals. This is a difficult problem because AI systems are often very powerful and can have unintended consequences. We need to be careful to design AI systems in a way that prevents them from causing harm.
“We need to develop new ways to measure AI progress.”
— Nick Bostrom, Measuring Progress Towards AGI: A Multidimensional Framework
We need to develop new ways to measure AI progress because traditional metrics, such as accuracy and speed, are not always good indicators of how well an AI system is aligned with our values and goals. We need to develop metrics that measure things like safety, fairness, and interpretability.
6.2 Stuart Russell
📖 AI should be designed as social agent that consistently acts in human interests.
“AI systems should be designed to be transparent and accountable, so that people can understand how they work and make decisions.”
— Stuart Russell, Artificial Intelligence
People need to be able to trust AI systems in order to use them effectively. In order to build trust, AI systems need to be transparent and accountable. This means that people need to be able to understand how AI systems work and make decisions. It also means that people need to be able to hold AI systems accountable for their decisions.
“AI systems should be designed to be fair and unbiased, so that they do not discriminate against any particular group of people.”
— Stuart Russell, Artificial Intelligence
AI systems have the potential to be biased against certain groups of people, such as women or minorities. This is because AI systems are trained on data that is often biased. In order to avoid bias, AI systems need to be designed to be fair and unbiased. This means that AI systems need to be trained on data that is representative of the population as a whole. It also means that AI systems need to be designed to avoid making decisions that are based on stereotypes or prejudices.
“AI systems should be designed to be robust and secure, so that they can withstand attacks and failures.”
— Stuart Russell, Artificial Intelligence
AI systems are increasingly being used in critical applications, such as self-driving cars and medical diagnosis. It is therefore essential that AI systems be robust and secure. This means that AI systems need to be able to withstand attacks and failures. It also means that AI systems need to be designed to be able to recover from failures.
6.3 Yoshua Bengio
📖 AI should be developed with emphasis on transparency and explainability.
“Artificial Intelligence systems should be transparent and accountable.”
— Yoshua Bengio, Artificial Intelligence Magazine
People should be able to understand how AI systems work and make decisions, so they can trust those systems and hold them accountable.
“AI systems should not be used to manipulate people, harm them, or experiment on them without their consent.”
— Yoshua Bengio, Science
People should always be in control of their own data and should not be subject to harmful or unethical uses of AI.
“We need to invest in research on AI safety and ethics to ensure that AI is used for good and not for evil.”
— Yoshua Bengio, Nature
AI has the potential to make the world a better place, but we need to make sure that it is developed and used responsibly.
6.4 Demis Hassabis
📖 AI should be used to enhance human capabilities rather than replace them.
“AI should be used as a tool to make better decisions, not as a superior form of intelligence.”
— Demis Hassabis, Nature
AI systems are best applied in decision making when used to assist human intuition and knowledge, rather than replacing it. Human intelligence is still superior to AI in many ways, so using AI as a tool to supplement human abilities and advance research can make better decisions.
“AI should be developed with a focus on human values and ethics.”
— Demis Hassabis, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A
It is important to consider the ethical implications of AI development and use in order to ensure it is used for good and does not cause harm. By taking into account human values and ethics, AI can be developed in a way that benefits humanity and promotes social good.
“AI should be used to create a more sustainable and equitable world.”

6.6 Yann LeCun
📖 AI should be developed with a strong emphasis on ethics and safety.
“AI should be developed with a strong focus on human values and ethics.”
— Yann LeCun, Nature Machine Intelligence
As AI becomes more powerful, it is crucial to ensure that it is used for good and not for evil. This means developing AI with a strong focus on human values and ethics.
“We need to develop AI that is safe and reliable.”
— Yann LeCun, The Verge
As AI becomes more autonomous, it is important to develop AI that is safe and reliable. This means developing AI that can be trusted to make decisions without human intervention.
“We need to educate the public about AI.”
— Yann LeCun, MIT Technology Review
It is important to educate the public about AI so that they can make informed decisions about its use. This includes educating the public about the benefits and risks of AI, as well as how to use AI responsibly.
6.7 Geoffrey Hinton
📖 AI researchers should focus on developing general-purpose AI.
“Artificial intelligence researchers should focus on developing general-purpose AI rather than narrow AI.”
— Geoffrey Hinton, Nature
Narrow AI is designed to perform a specific task, such as playing chess or recognizing objects in images. General-purpose AI, on the other hand, would be able to learn new tasks and solve problems without being explicitly programmed to do so.

— Geoffrey Hinton, The Economist
Hinton believes that general-purpose AI will have a greater impact on society than any other technology in history.
“We need to be careful about how we develop AI.”
— Geoffrey Hinton, The New York Times
Hinton has warned that AI could be used for malicious purposes, such as developing autonomous weapons or creating surveillance systems that could be used to oppress people.
6.8 Gary Marcus
📖 AI is currently limited by its lack of common sense and causal reasoning.
“Most current AI systems lack sufficient understanding of the real world to make common-sense inferences and reliably solve problems that require causal reasoning.”
— Gary Marcus, Science
Common sense is a critical aspect of human intelligence that enables us to make inferences and solve problems based on our understanding of the world. However, most current AI systems lack this ability, which limits their applicability to real-world problems.
“The lack of common sense and causal reasoning in AI systems can lead to erroneous predictions and decisions, particularly in situations where the system encounters novel or unexpected scenarios.”
— Gary Marcus, Science
AI systems that lack common sense and causal reasoning may make inaccurate predictions or decisions when faced with unfamiliar situations. This can be problematic in domains such as healthcare, finance, and transportation, where incorrect AI decisions can have significant real-world implications.
“To develop more robust and reliable AI systems, it is essential to address the limitations in their common sense and causal reasoning capabilities.”
— Gary Marcus, Science
Overcoming the limitations of AI systems in common sense and causal reasoning requires continued research and development in areas such as knowledge representation, machine learning algorithms, and natural language processing. By addressing these challenges, we can create AI systems that are better equipped to handle real-world problems and enhance human decision-making.
6.9 Pedro Domingos
📖 AI should be developed using a combination of symbolic and statistical techniques.
“Any sufficiently advanced AI is indistinguishable from magic.”
— Arthur C. Clarke, Profiles of the Future
This quote suggests that as AI continues to develop, it will become increasingly difficult to tell the difference between it and magic. This could have profound implications for our understanding of reality and our place in the universe.
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
— Alan Kay, The Future of Computing
This quote suggests that we should not simply wait for the future to happen, but rather take an active role in shaping it. AI could be a powerful tool for helping us to invent the future we want.
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
— Alan Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity
This quote suggests that we should not be afraid of change, but rather embrace it. AI is a rapidly changing field, and we need to be willing to change with it if we want to stay ahead of the curve.
6.10 Richard Sutton
📖 AI should be developed using reinforcement learning techniques.
““If you don’t understand reinforcement learning (RL), you shouldn’t be in artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning is the only thing in AI that is actually solving the general intelligence problem””
— Richard Sutton, Deepmind
This quote emphasizes the importance of reinforcement learning (RL) in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). RL is a type of machine learning that allows AI systems to learn how to behave in an environment by interacting with it and receiving rewards or punishments for their actions. This type of learning is essential for developing AI systems that can solve complex problems and make decisions in real-world scenarios.
““Reinforcement learning is a general-purpose learning algorithm for sequential decision-making problems””
— Richard Sutton, Deepmind
This lesson highlights the versatility of reinforcement learning (RL) and its applicability to a wide range of problems that involve sequential decision-making.
