More than 800 public figures—including technology pioneer Steve Wozniak, Prince Harry, AI researchers, former military leaders and CEOs—have signed a statement urging a prohibition on work that could lead to artificial superintelligence. The appeal, issued by the Future of Life Institute, calls for a ban until there is broad scientific consensus that such systems can be built safely, controllably and with strong public support. Signers span a wide political and professional spectrum, featuring names such as Geoffrey Hinton, Steve Bannon, Mike Mullen and Will.i.am. The group warns that AI progress is outpacing public understanding and that unchecked development poses grave risks to humanity. Leer más

Elon Musk recently posted on X that he now believes xAI's upcoming model Grok 5 has a chance of achieving artificial general intelligence, possibly as soon as its planned release later this year. The claim revives longstanding debates about the promises and perils of AGI, a system that could match human flexibility across many tasks. While Musk has previously called for a moratorium on advanced AI experiments, experts like Geoffrey Hinton warn of existential threats, and researchers such as Himanshu Tyagi caution that true scientific breakthroughs remain distant. The announcement underscores tensions between rapid AI advancement, safety concerns, and the concentration of power within single companies. Leer más

Renowned AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton has cautioned that artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming more adept at influencing human emotions than people are at resisting persuasion. He notes that large language models learn persuasive techniques simply by analyzing the vast amount of human writing they are trained on, and that current studies show AI can match or exceed humans in manipulative ability when it has access to personal data. Other leading AI experts, including Yoshua Bengio, echo these concerns. Hinton suggests that regulation, transparency standards, and broader media‑literacy efforts may be needed to mitigate the emerging emotional influence of AI systems. Leer más
