❗️ Fields Medallist Terence Tao, one of the most prominent mathematicians, was pro-AI until its capabilities surpassed him. He now says "we have to slow down."

"There's no reason to be this fast," he said, calling the pace "insane."

Earlier this month, Tao and 24 other Fields Medallists warned that the goals of AI companies and mathematicians are "severely misaligned."
