Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. Emmett Shear (former OpenAI interim CEO) said this in a June 2023 podcast appearance. The exact wording is confirmed across multiple secondary sources (Yahoo News, Futurism, HuffPost, Liron Shapira's Substack). He stated his p(doom) is "between 5 and 50 percent" as his "bid-ask spread" and said he buys Yudkowsky's doom argument. The 404media source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the quote attribution is solid. The vote 'for' the statement 'AI poses an existential threat to humanity' aligns correctly with Shear's stated position of taking AI doom seriously. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 21h ago
