As AI companies pursue artificial general intelligence (AGI), they must collaborate with academia to ensure the best and safest results, argues a recent editorial from Nature. The editors discuss the developmental trajectory of AI and point to several examples of how teams at postsecondary institutions, including at the Université de Montréal, are exploring critical questions that are pertinent to AGI. The article concludes by calling for collaboration between academia, AI companies, government, and research funders, asserting that “humanity needs to bring all knowledge to bear so that applications of AI research are robust and its risks are mitigated as much as possible.”
