What was said
"I think it's impossible to indefinitely control something smarter than all of us combined. We use the same term AI to refer to tools we have today, narrow useful systems, to human-level agents we're starting to create, and unfortunately to superintelligent AI we expect to have once this cycle of self-improvement begins."
Dr. Roman Yampolsky, a computer scientist, warned that once artificial general intelligence achieves self-improvement capabilities, humanity faces a 99.9% extinction risk. He stated that no one currently has working safety mechanisms to control superintelligent systems, and that humans will lose decision-making power once AI surpasses human intelligence. This starkly contradicts the optimistic view that AI will remain a controllable tool.
