AI researchers put out videos saying superintelligence is ‘exactly as dangerous as it sounds’
TL;DR
"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.
Nauti's Take
For AI teams, the first task is source validation: who was selected, how is superintelligence defined, and what evidence supports the percentages? The interviews signal growing concern among researchers, yet they should not drive safety decisions, budgets, or product freezes on their own.
