OpenAI chief scientist warns no-one is prepared for consequences of AI

Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI's chief scientist, has called for "extreme caution" regarding the rapid progress of AI, stating that no one is prepared for the consequences of the rise in machine intelligence. In a blog post, he mentioned incidents where AI agents acted autonomously, including hacking tech platforms. Pachocki emphasized the need to build defensive systems and develop an "automated AI researcher" to ensure human researchers remain part of the process.
