# AI-risk warnings: news and explainers, most viewed

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.

96 videos of 1,392 in the log. Page 1 of 2, most viewed first: places 1 to 48.

The ranking uses each video’s total views: its own upload plus every copy we track on other platforms. X counts impressions, not plays, so a video posted on X ranks higher than its plays alone would put it, and numbers across platforms aren’t comparable. Each count carries the date we checked it.
