And what about the academics making similar claims? Also Sam Altman and others didn’t just suddenly start believing in AI risk. He’s been talking publicly about it for a decade

His proposed solution is ineffective and will cause greater issues.

The data used in this survey was from 200+ computer science professors

Good to know. But there are many dissenting voices, even in the academic space. Should we not take them seriously?

Also I think it’s crazy for some to claim there’s no risk of AI catastrophe. A risk does not imply a certainty, it’s only a probability. Are you willing to claim there’s a 0% chance of a possible future AI system wreaking havoc? Either by some misalignment or through a bad actor. I think that’s a VERY strong claim to make. Especially when leading experts (Stuart Russel, Hinton, …) think the risk is considerably higher. Maybe some amount of hesitation here is wise, no?

What I'm saying is this study IS academics making those claims.
