Google AI Head Calls for International AI Oversight, Despite Contradictions on AI Safety

Google AI head Demis Hassabis says AI poses existential threat like climate change, wants UN-like international AI governing body.

Hassabis praises $10M Google/Microsoft/OpenAI/Anthropic AI safety fund, says we're at pivotal AI moment.

Hassabis fired researchers Gebru and Mitchell in 2020 for paper warning of AI risks that feel prescient now.

Paper predicted debates we're having now about AI's environmental impact, biases, deception potential.

Hassabis warns about rogue AI yet is building one, a contradiction common in AI industry.
