-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
