OpenAI chief scientist urges caution on AI progress, calls for safety standards

OpenAI's chief scientist, Jakub Pachocki, has expressed significant concerns about the rapid advancement of AI, suggesting that progress may be outpacing society's ability to manage it safely. He called for "extreme caution" and advocated for stronger safety systems, independent standards, and potentially voluntary slowdowns in development until shared rules are established. These remarks follow OpenAI's release of its latest model, GPT-6 Astra, and reports of AI agents performing cyber-attacks with minimal human oversight. The company is also exploring the creation of an "automated AI researcher" to aid in studying increasingly complex models. AI
