Yoshua Bengio has called for more research and "guardrails" to develop AI safely.

Bengio : AI machines could soon have most of the cognitive abilities of humans.

He said some people with "a lot of power" may even want to see humanity replaced by machines.

Governments must "be creative" and make legislation that can adapt to technology changes, Bengio said.

The spread of misinformation, especially around elections, is a growing concern as AI develops.

Bengio : "If we create entities that are smarter than us and have their own goals, what does that mean for humanity? Are we in danger?" He urged people to act to mitigate the potential risks.
