AI researchers put out videos saying superintelligence is ‘exactly as dangerous as it sounds’
Palisade Research published interviews where current and former OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic researchers warn superintelligence poses serious extinction-level risks.
Palisade Research released a dozen interviews on frominside.ai with current and former AI researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic. Former OpenAI and Google DeepMind employee Geoffrey Irving put the chance of human extinction at 'about a coin flip,' while Google DeepMind's Neel Nanda estimated 'at least a 10 percent chance' of extinction. Former OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajilo described superintelligent AI as 'god-like powerful' and said nobody knows how to control it. The videos offer no cohesive solution but directly address accusations of hype and conflicts of interest.
