Gary Marcus, co-founder of Robust AI Inc., says AI developers including OpenAI have insufficient safeguards for systems they cannot reliably control. The concern comes as AI capabilities advance faster than safety measures.

Marcus, formerly CEO of Robust AI Inc., outlined his concerns during an appearance on Bloomberg's "The Close" with host Romaine Bostick. He argued that major AI developers are deploying systems without adequate controls, given their inability to predict or manage all potential outcomes. The critique highlights a growing gap between AI development speed and safety infrastructure. As large language models and AI systems become more powerful and widely adopted, questions persist about whether existing safeguards match the complexity of modern AI systems. Marcus's position reflects broader industry debate over responsible AI deployment. While developers emphasize testing and monitoring, critics argue these measures remain insufficient for ensuring reliable system behavior at scale. The discussion underscores tensions between rapid innovation and cautious development in the AI sector.
