AI Researchers Warn of Existential Risk in New Video Series

Palisade Research has launched a video series featuring insiders from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic warning that superintelligence poses an existential threat comparable to a coin flip for human extinction. The project brings internal moral conflicts into the open, with researchers like Daniel Kokotajlo describing superintelligent AI as 'god-like' and uncontrollable. Neel Nanda of Google DeepMind estimates a 10 percent chance of extinction, calling that figure 'ridiculously high.' These voices are not distant academics but employees who feel compelled to stay in their roles to mitigate risks they helped create. The series strips away the corporate veneer, revealing a community deeply divided on whether current safety measures are sufficient. This public airing of internal doubts shifts the conversation from abstract theory to urgent industry self-reflection.
