Remembering Scott's AI Researchers On AI Risk. The debate about AI is heating up, and a lot of people rely on authority figures for knowing what to believe. Do we have a current list of notable AI X-risk believers? Would there be value in compiling such a list?

I wont be offended if someone from an institution wants to start another one/completely replace all of the content (if so go ahead), but I've made the tiniest start here. I invite others to add/edit/take over. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rJkw0YLe9XMe1Zi_QdWzPwJt2Kld6HeLn1ehlyWos4A/edit#gid=0
I'd suggest ordering the list according to which names we most expect to make a difference to the kind of audience would need to see a list like this, so don't place Elon Musk at the top, or possibly at all, unless you can think of an exceptionally convincing "relevant qualifications" section for him.
