David Krueger, a Canadian AI researcher, warns that merely slowing down AI development is far from sufficient if humanity wants to avoid a doomsday scenario. Krueger, an assistant professor of AI at the University of Montreal and a core academic member of Mila, Quebec's AI institute, states that there should be an immediate, indefinite pause in the development of cutting-edge AI. His personal research focuses on 'reducing the risk of human extinction caused by AI.'
