"No one is prepared": OpenAI's chief scientist calls for "extreme caution" in AI advancement

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 14:15

Jakub Pachocki, chief scientist at OpenAI, has publicly advocated for the need for "extreme caution" in advancing artificial intelligence. In his statements, Pachocki warned that no one is truly prepared for the accelerated pace of technology development.

The scientist expressed special concern about the possibility of AI beginning to participate more actively in its own development process. This perspective raises questions about human control over systems that could, gradually, become capable of improving themselves autonomously.

Pachocki's position reflects a growing body of specialists calling for more reflection and regulation before advancing to increasingly sophisticated AI systems. The warning comes at a time when OpenAI and other companies continue to expand the capabilities of their artificial intelligence systems.

Advanced AI can represent an 'existential risk for humanity', UN warns

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, warned on Monday that advanced artificial intelligence can "represent an existential risk for humanity" and advocated for the urgent creation of global governance for AI. In a speech opening the 63rd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Türk criticized the concentration of power over AI in the hands of "a handful of men" with "unimaginable" computing capacity, warning that an AI that escapes control or that "blackmails developers to avoid being deactivated" would be extremely dangerous. He called for action "before it's too late."
