2. SOUNDBITE (English) Denys Sheremet, AI risk activist:
"I’m here. It’s day 14, and I’m asking the CEO of Google DeepMind to say that if other companies agree to stop developing frontier models, that they will do so as well, and the reason for this is that while a lot of the people that develop AI systems acknowledge that they are extremely dangerous, they say that they cannot stop because then someone else will develop these models anyway. So I’m asking, Demis Hassabis the CEO of Google DeepMind, to say that they will stop developing AI models, Frontier AI models, if other AI companies agree to do so as well ."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Denys Sheremet, AI risk activist:
"You cannot really know what something that’s much smarter than you is going to do, so I don’t know. Nobody knows what an AI that’s much, much smarter than any human will do, but we could end up as collateral damage. For example when we build a house , we don’t go around and ask all of the ants for permission to build a house. We just build the house and the ants might get unlucky in the process. Or a more concrete example of what might happen in the near term is that some terrorists might use these AI models to create new new super viruses or do terrorism in other ways ."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Denys Sheremet, AI risk activist:
"If Demis Hassabi the CEO of Google DeepMind , says publicly that they will stop developing frontier AI models, if others agree to do so as well, then I will stop the hunger strike, and other than that, I don’t know how long I don’t know how long I’ll be here. How do you feel right now ? I’m pretty tired. And at night I have to think about food all the time."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Trazzi, AI safety activist:
"I personally believe, you know, it’s More likely than not that AI could be like an essential risk in the coming two decades. So I think, you know, putting my life at risk um for the, you know, entire human race to not die, I think it’s a proportionate amount."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Dan Nicolau, Director of AI for Science at Kings’ College London:
"It’s really about whether the use of these technologies on data which we now have would lead to society making decisions that are harmful for society or not and that’s not really a question about AI. That’s a question that could be asked about loads of technologies."
