Bengio urges safety-minded AI researchers to leave frontier labs

Yoshua Bengio, co-president of LawZero, writes to researchers urging those who prioritize safety to leave frontier AI companies for safety institutes or mission-driven organizations.

He argues that safety efforts at the labs are not sufficiently slowing a dangerous race toward recursive self-improvement, and cites LawZero's recent C$200 million-plus funding from Canada and Germany as an alternative path.
