Summary
A series of videos from people inside the industry building AI technology echoed some of the ‘doomer’ warnings others have sounded recently. “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. Several of the researchers joined Irving in warning about the possibility AI could drive humans extinct. While each video is available in full, the site also collects segments from multiple people speaking on similar topics, including whether this is all hype or marketing, and why they would work on something that they believe is this dangerous.
