Yoshua Bengio thinks he knows how to make provably safe superintelligent agents. Bengio built the foundations of modern AI and is the most cited living scientist. He believes his alternative training setup would: 1. Guarantee honesty 2. Prevent unintended goals 3. Produce capable agents 4. Port over most data and techniques from current LLMs 5. Not be inherently more expensive, and perhaps be more intelligent Bengio claims the honesty and lack of unintended goals can be proven mathematically, at least given particular assumptions. And his new organization, LawZero, is aiming to build a scrappy prototype as soon as possible. The architecture is called 'Scientist AI' and it's based on training a model to explain empirical observations, including what people say, rather than training AIs that mimic human behaviour or seek our approval. (Bengio's frank assessment is that "reinforcement learning is evil" and that allowing AIs to independently train their successors is "the most crazy, dangerous bet that unfortunately we are on track to do.") But skeptics question whether Scientist AI really does solve the fundamental problem of 'eliciting latent knowledge' from AI models. And with the commercial race for superintelligence so intense, it's not clear whether the proposal will be able to compete or have time to bear fruit, even if it's sound in theory.

AI has a trust problem. Verifiability is the solution. Our GM of AI Nima Vaziri sat down with a16z’s Ali Yahya and Dan Boneh of Stanford University to map the deepest fault lines in AI today. ☁️ Models we can’t trust ☁️ Current providers can censor, shut down, or shift rules overnight. Outsourced training hides backdoors. Even “open” weights don’t prove what’s actually running. Trust. Backdoors. Black boxes. The path forward is clear: 🔥 Verifiable evals 🔥 Verifiable inference 🔥 TEEs for hardware-backed integrity 🔥 Infra beyond single points of control 🔥 Blockchains as coordination layers for AI From “trust us” to “verify yourself.” That’s the shift. That’s the unlock. The frontier is here. The builders decide what comes next. Create and use AI that’s incentive aligned with you.
