A collective of former and current employees from top AI firms, including OpenAI and Google DeepMind, issued an open letter highlighting AI risks.

The letter calls for increased safeguards and oversight in the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) to avert 'human extinction.'

Concerns are raised about companies silencing employees who voice AI risks, referencing a recent scandal at OpenAI involving non-disparagement agreements.

There is a push for transparency and ethical guidelines in AI development amidst growing concerns about AI regulation and safety.

The movement for better AI oversight is gaining support from prominent figures such as Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton.
