At NeurIPS 2024, Ilya Sutskever has addressed the limits of scaling laws and the rise of reasoning AI, warning of challenges in regulation and accountability.
OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever yesterday delivered a thought-provoking presentation at NeurIPS 2024, offering a vision of artificial intelligence that blends remarkable promise with profound uncertainty.
NeurIPS 2024, or the Thirty-Eighth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, is one of the most prominent and influential conferences in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The event is taking place from December 10-15, 2024, at the Vancouver Convention Center in Vancouver, Canada.
During his presentation, Sutskever described the eventual emergence of superintelligent AI—systems capable of reasoning, unpredictability, and self-awareness—and the ethical dilemmas these advancements might pose.
Now leading Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) after his OpenAI departure in May, Sutskever thinks that merely scaling models up may no longer be the solution to advancing artificial intelligence.
