Even if it’s just Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Stuart Russell, we’d probably agree the risks are not negligible. There are quite a few researchers from Stanford, UC Berkeley, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Oxford, Cambirdge, Imperial College, Edinburg, Tsinghua, etc who signed as well. Many of whom do not work for those companies.

We’re talking about nuclear war level risks here. Even a 1% chance should definitely be addressed. As noted above, Paul Christiano who has worked on AI risk and thought about it for a long time put it at 46%.
