About this episode

The episode discusses the significant existential risks posed by AI as expressed by leading researchers and CEOs in the field.

1. The 3 most cited AI researchers of all time (Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Ilya Sutskever) are vocally concerned about this. One of them believes the risk of extinction is higher than 50%. 2. The CEOs of the 4 leading AI companies have all acknowledged this risk as real. “Development of superhuman machine intelligence is probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity” -Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI “I think there's some chance that it will end humanity. I probably agree with Geoff Hinton that it's about 10% or 20% or something like that.” -Elon Musk, CEO of xAI “I think at the extreme end is the Nick Bostrom style of fear that an AGI could destroy humanity. I can’t see any reason in principle why that couldn’t happen.” -Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic “We need to be working now, yesterday, on those problems, no matter what the probability is, because it’s definitely non-zero.” -Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind 3. Half of surveyed AI researchers believe that there are double-digit odds of extinction https://x.com/HumanHarlan/status/1925015874840543653
