This collection of interviews highlights a critical divergence within the AI safety community regarding the existential risk posed by superintelligent systems. Former employees from major labs like OpenAI and Google DeepMind argue that uncontrolled advanced AI could lead to human extinction, challenging the prevailing optimism often found in product announcements. The core issue for researchers is not just the potential danger, but the lack of consensus on effective control mechanisms or mitigation strategies before deployment accelerates.
AI researchers put out videos saying superintelligence is ‘exactly as dangerous as it sounds’
"The chance of human extinction is about a coin flip, in my view," Geoffrey Irving, a former OpenAI and Google DeepMind employee, said in a new interview. It's one of a dozen interviews with AI researchers, including current and former employees at OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Palisade Research, which says it's a nonprofit studying AIs' capabilities and motivations, collected and launched the interviews on frominside.ai. Several of the researchers joined Irving in warning about the possibility AI could drive humans extinct. Neel Nanda, a Google DeepMind research scientist, said there's "at least a 10 percent chance that it causes human e … Read the full story at The Verge.
