There were 3 Turing winners. The majority 2/3 Hinton and Bengio have been very outspoken about catastrophic risks to humanity.

Let's bet humanity on this one person?

Andrew Ng and many other AI researchers have also voiced their opinion that AI should be open source.

Ok so in 50-50 chance instead of the precaution principle we go all in on the roulette?

Bengio only won a Turing award for ideas he stole from Schmidhuber, and Schmidhuber is very anti-regulation.

Bengio is the highest h-index CS scientist currently. If he says we may all die from AI, I would listen to him.
