MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He named OpenAI's Sam Altman, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic's Dario Amodei in a lengthy weekend post on X.
"Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei are the ones doing massive corporate lobbying at the moment," LeCun wrote, referring to these founders' role in shaping regulatory conversations about AI safety.
That's significant since, as almost everyone who matters in tech agrees, AI is the biggest development in technology since the microchip or the internet.Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Thanks to @RishiSunak & @vonderleyen for realizing that AI xrisk arguments from Turing, Hinton, Bengio, Russell, Altman, Hassabis & Amodei can't be refuted with snark and corporate lobbying alone.
In March, more than 1,000 tech leaders, including Elon Musk, Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei, signed a letter calling for a minimum six-month pause on AI development.
Those risks include worker exploitation and data theft that generates profit for "a handful of entities," according to the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR).
