AI researchers warn superintelligence poses extinction risk

A series of video interviews with AI researchers, including current and former employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic, warns that superintelligence is as dangerous as it sounds. Geoffrey Irving, a former OpenAI and Google DeepMind employee, stated he believes the chance of human extinction is roughly a coin flip. The interviews were collected and published by Palisade Research, a nonprofit focused on studying AI capabilities and motivations, on the site frominside.ai.
