Yoshua Bengio: Mila to LawZero

Stated non-policy reasons

“"LawZero is the result of the new scientific direction I undertook in 2023, after recognizing the rapid progress made by private labs toward Artificial General Intelligence and beyond, as well as its profound implications for humanity. Current frontier systems are already showing signs of self-preservation and deceptive behaviours, and this will only accelerate as their capabilities and degree of agency increase." — Yoshua Bengio, LawZero launch press release, June 3, 2025.”
