Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable, Future of Life Institute letter, via 'The Guardian'.

The authors cite OpenAI's co-founder, , Sam Altman, who wrote in February, .

“At some point, it may be important to get independent review before starting to train future systems, and for the most advanced efforts to agree to limit the rate of growth of compute used for creating new models.”.

The authors of the Future of Life Institute letter wrote in response to Altman, , “We agree.

That point is now.”
