Meta's Yann LeCun, who shared the 2018 Turing Award with Hinton and Bengio, did not sign the letter and has argued that recent security incidents reflect engineering failures rather than existential AI risk.
“~400 scientists — Hinton and Bengio among them — called Tuesday for international AI oversight: containment standards, an incident registry (eventually public), air-gapped frontier models. LeCun did not sign. Momentum, not policy. AI incident tonight: register it, or bury it?”
