Russell said he does not want digital intelligence to replace biological intelligence.

Professor Russell, known as the "AI alignment master," appeared at the opening ceremony and main forum of the 2025 WAIC alongside the "AI father" Sutton on the 26th. When asked by a reporter whether digital intelligence would replace biological intelligence in the future, Russell pondered for a moment before giving his answer. "I believe this is not a question of prediction or prophecy, but a question of choice: do we want digital intelligence to replace biological intelligence? My answer is no. It just so happens that I like humans," said Stuart Russell, a distinguished professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, during an exclusive interview with a journalist.
