Today marks a big milestone for me. I'm launching @law-zero.bsky.social, a nonprofit focusing on a new safe-by-design approach to AI that could both accelerate scientific discovery and provide a safeguard against the dangers of agentic AI.

LawZero - LoiZéro @law-zero.bsky.social · Jun 3

Every frontier AI system should be grounded in a core commitment: to protect human joy and endeavour. Today, we launch LawZero, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing safe-by-design AI. lawzero.org

I was very honoured to receive the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering from His Majesty King Charles III this week, and pleased to hear his thoughts on AI safety as well as his hopes that we can minimize the risks while collectively reaping the benefits.

Addressing these risks doesn't mean stopping progress.
Innovation & regulation must go hand in hand, notably by building technical safeguards to make AI systems more trustworthy for individuals and businesses. That's at the heart of our work at @law-zero.bsky.social.

Thank you to @financialtimes.com for the invitation to speak at today's FT Summit and to Cristina Criddle for the excellent discussion.
We touched on AI's early signs of self-preservation and deceptive behaviours, as well as the technical and policy solutions on the horizon.

Yoshua Bengio @yoshuabengio.bsky.social · 4d

We need innovative technical and societal solutions to mitigate AI risks. I believe liability insurance for AI developers could be an excellent market-based incentive to drive safety standards and accountability, and is an option worth considering.

Thank you to the University of Copenhagen, the European Commission @ec.europa.eu, and my co-panelists — Lene Oddershede, Max Welling, Peter Sarlin & @fabiantheis.bsky.social — for a day of excellent discussions.

I want to congratulate EVP @hennavirkkunen.bsky.social and EU Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva on the launch of RAISE, a critical initiative to support AI for Science and Science for AI.

Yoshua Bengio @yoshuabengio.bsky.social · 7d

Europe has a chance to shape a safer and more values-aligned future for AI innovation, and needs to. This was my main message at the AI in Science Summit in Copenhagen today.
I also presented Scientist AI, LawZero's approach to create technical guardrails and help accelerate scientific discovery.

We covered current evidence around AI's potential for misuse, governance & international cooperation mechanisms, and strategies to ensure AI security.

It was a pleasure speaking at the Munich AI Lecture Series last week to present the risks of uncontrolled AI agency and the opportunities we have to create technical and policy solutions.

Dans cette entrevue avec @lexpress.fr, j'ai pu souligner mon optimisme concernant la possibilité de trouver des solutions techniques aux risques de l'IA, mais aussi l'urgence pour l'Europe de maintenir sa compétitivité et son indépendance dans le secteur.

Thanks @marietjeschaake.bsky.social for a great discussion today at the Paris Peace Forum.
We got to cover both technical and policy topics, from the research being done at @law-zero.bsky.social to build technical solutions for safe-by-design AI systems to the importance of European AI sovereignty.
