AI-risk warnings

241 videos of 1,392 in the log.

Videos whose main message is a warning about risks from AI: people who work or worked at AI labs and other researchers, songs and films made by AI, and news reports on real incidents. A video is here when the warning is the point of it and it comes from a credible speaker or rests on sourced facts; rumour and clickbait are left out. The list records what is being said, not the site’s own view.

Key moments

The passage that carries each video, quoted word for word with its timestamp. Found by a fast model, checked word for word by a stronger one; fillers removed and cuts marked with … (the full words are on each video’s page). 9 videos so far.

The main thing I want is that they can continue not thinking about AI and… just live their lives as they’re used to.

then, asked what it means if we don’t: “It means we’re dead.”
Alex Turner, formerly Google DeepMind I Quit Google's AI Lab. Here's What the Public Should Know, Palisade Research, at 15:26
The chance of human extinction is about a coin flip, in my view, about a half.

I try to imagine… what the future will be like for my children… my kids are like 5 years old and 2 years old… will the world continue to exist?

Speaking as an interpretability expert, please do not rely on us to save you on the current trajectory.
Neel Nanda, Google DeepMind DeepMind Researcher: AI's Makers Think It Could End Humanity, Palisade Research, at 28:11
I’d rather my family not worry too much about AI, because… I don’t think that I have very comforting words for them.

Juan Felipe Cerón Uribe, OpenAI He works at OpenAI: his job is to stop ChatGPT from helping make a Bioweapon, Palisade Research, at 32:32
If you want someone to defend this plan, it’s not me. This is a terrible plan, I think, and it’s probably not going to work.
