Ex-OpenAI safety lead Brundage: AI deaths demand systematic risk management, not speed limits

Miles Brundage, former OpenAI AGI Preparedness lead, clarifies in a debate that his point isn't 'deaths mean AI is going too fast' but that deaths demand a systematic, non-sloppy approach to risk — and that industries like vaccines and cars manage risk far more rigorously. He argues widely deployed AI with fewer deaths was possible with marginally more care on issues like sycophancy.
