I do this for a living and I don’t have a great answer. There’s a gut instinct involved. I try to understand how execs are compensated or otherwise incentivized, and then ask myself if there’s a reason they would screw over their stakeholders embedded in their incentives or enabled through some governance loophole. Many are trained to be great at deflecting (anyone with media training should be) so indirect questions tend to be your ally. This kind of approach would mean you also look at governance structures, which in the case of OpenAI would have focused on the issues with their board structure.
