SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 11:18

Jakub Pachocki, Chief Scientist at OpenAI, published a text where he defended the adoption of "extreme caution" in the pace of Artificial Intelligence development. Pachocki expressed concern about the consequences that unregulated advances in technology may bring.

The chief scientist at OpenAI is one of the prominent voices in the AI sector who have warned about the risks associated with the accelerated development of artificial intelligence systems without adequate supervision.

The warning comes at a time when technological competition among major companies in the sector is intensifying, raising questions about the need for regulation and governance in the field of artificial intelligence.

Pachocki's position joins other specialists who have been calling for more control and ethical reflection on the impact that increasingly powerful AI systems may have on society.
