Actually, it seems like the people who are most worried about AGI are the ones building it, because they don't want to see it "raised" the wrong way. Here's a blog by Sam Altman, about 10 months before OpenAI was founded: https://blog.samaltman.com/the-software-revolution https://blog.samaltman.com/the-software-revolution "Two of the biggest risks I see emerging from the software revolution—AI and synthetic biology—may put tremendous capability to cause harm in the hands of small groups, or even individuals. It is probably already possible to design and produce a terrible disease in a small lab; development of an AI that could end human life may only require a few hundred people in an office building anywhere in the world, with no equipment other than laptops. ... I think the best strategy is to try to legislate sensible safeguards but work very hard to make sure the edge we get from technology on the good side is stronger than the edge that bad actors get. If we can synthesize new diseases, maybe we can synthesize vaccines. If we can make a bad AI, maybe we can make a good AI that stops the bad one."
