A group of former and current OpenAI staffers raised concerns in a letter that without regulations, the race for artificial intelligence could lead to things like human extinction.

A group of former and current OpenAI employees released a letter online expressing concerns about the effects and serious risks artificial intelligence technology could have on humanity. The letter, which was posted on righttowarn.ai, was signed by five former OpenAI employees, a current and a former employee from Google DeepMind, four unnamed current employees at OpenAI and two unnamed former OpenAI employees.

OpenAI told FOX Business it agrees with the letter’s call for government regulation of the AI industry, as it was the first in the industry to call for such regulation. The company also said they regularly engage with policymakers around the world and are encouraged with the progress being made. An OpenAI spokesperson also said they have a track record of not releasing technology until the necessary safeguards are in place.
