The twelve interviewees include current and former employees of OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic. Geoffrey Irving, who previously worked at OpenAI and DeepMind, said the chance of human extinction from AI is \"about a coin flip.\" Neel Nanda, a current Google DeepMind research scientist, was more conservative, putting the odds at \"at least a 10 percent chance\" that AI wipes out humanity.\n\nThese aren't outside critics lobbing hot takes. They're people who built the systems in question, on the record, attaching actual numbers instead of vague warnings. That matters because AI risk debates usually stay abstract enough to ignore, and only two of the twelve interviewees quoted here gave specific percentages at all.\n\nPalisade built its case on credibility, not marketing copy, but a slickly produced video series with its own dedicated URL is still a pitch for attention as much as it is a warning.","[\"ai safety\",\"existential risk\",\"openai\",\"google deepmind\"]","2026-09-29T17:35:03.000Z","2026-09-29T19:02:10.512Z","2026-09-29T19:02:16.731Z","published",null,[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Headline calls all sources 'Former' OpenAI\u002FDeepMind staff, but Neel Nanda is a current Google DeepMind researcher per the source and the piece's own body, and Anthropic is omitted from the headline despite being named in the dek and body; separately, the dek implies all twelve researchers gave numeric extinction odds in the 10%-to-coin-flip range when only two named individuals (Irving, Nanda) are sourced with specific figures — fix the headline's accuracy and scope the dek's quantified claim to","resolved","ai",[32,33,34,35],"ai safety","existential risk","openai","google deepmind",[37],{"name":38,"url":39},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Fai-artificial-intelligence\u002F1002238\u002Fopenai-google-anthropic-ai-researchers-safety-interviews",0,{"sections":42},[43,47,52,57,62,67,72,77,82,87,92,97,102,107],{"name":44,"slug":30,"count":45,"latest_published_at":46},"AI",4944,"2026-09-29T19:00:00.000Z",{"name":48,"slug":49,"count":50,"latest_published_at":51},"Security","security",777,"2026-09-29T18:00:00.000Z",{"name":53,"slug":54,"count":55,"latest_published_at":56},"Policy","policy",414,"2026-09-29T18:43:58.000Z",{"name":58,"slug":59,"count":60,"latest_published_at":61},"Deals","deals",283,"2026-09-29T17:13:30.000Z",{"name":63,"slug":64,"count":65,"latest_published_at":66},"Hardware","hardware",194,"2026-09-29T13:16:04.000Z",{"name":68,"slug":69,"count":70,"latest_published_at":71},"Science","science",154,"2026-09-28T13:19:18.000Z",{"name":73,"slug":74,"count":75,"latest_published_at":76},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",142,"2026-09-29T18:38:03.000Z",{"name":78,"slug":79,"count":80,"latest_published_at":81},"Software","software",91,"2026-09-25T20:55:00.000Z",{"name":83,"slug":84,"count":85,"latest_published_at":86},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",89,"2026-09-29T17:15:00.000Z",{"name":88,"slug":89,"count":90,"latest_published_at":91},"Startups","startups",81,"2026-09-29T09:00:00.000Z",{"name":93,"slug":94,"count":95,"latest_published_at":96},"General","general",49,"2026-09-28T16:44:57.000Z",{"name":98,"slug":99,"count":100,"latest_published_at":101},"Gaming","gaming",48,"2026-09-25T18:35:21.000Z",{"name":103,"slug":104,"count":105,"latest_published_at":106},"Reviews","reviews",31,"2026-09-28T14:31:34.000Z",{"name":108,"slug":109,"count":110,"latest_published_at":111},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
