AIShould AI slow down—or speed up to solve urgent problems?
A post attributes a call to slow AI to mathematician Terence Tao. Others argue AI enables faster error correction and that curing disease is a reason to push ahead.
TLDR
A post quotes mathematician Terence Tao as saying, “we have to slow down AI,” with “no reason” for the current pace. The post’s author adds concern about sweeping changes with unknown consequences. Posts quoting it argue the opposite: AI enables faster error correction, and curing disease and solving urgent problems justify moving faster. Their case frames delay itself as a risk to human lives and civilization’s future.
