The author pushes back against criticisms that AI safety labs are closed off, arguing that the field is actually quite open and encouraging readers to engage with lab researchers or join them to see for themselves. Using Google DeepMind as an example, the author notes that they have been hiring philosophers, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists for over a decade, publishing a vast amount of interdisciplinary research on AGI risks, safety, and consciousness.
