While Ross lauded the transformative potential of scalable AI compute, he also issued a subtle warning about the risks. When asked whether scaling compute is the most critical focus, he acknowledged that, from a strategic standpoint, it is. However, he cautioned that “this much power can resemble Skynet,” referencing the hypothetical malevolent AI scenario.
Therefore, while scaling compute and infrastructure are vital, Ross implied that responsible development and regulation are equally essential to prevent misuse or unintended consequences.
