He Risked Everything to Warn You: No One Is Ready for What's Coming, and the AI Companies Know It! (Video)
In this 13 July 13 2026 published video. host Steven Bartlett talks with ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo who walked away from $2 million rather than stay silent, and now reveals why he believes there’s a 70 percent chance AI leads to human extinction, why superintelligence could arrive before the end of the decade, and the one plan he thinks could still save us all!
Kokotajlo is a former OpenAI researcher and one of the world’s leading AI forecasters. He is the founder of the AI Futures Project and the lead author of ‘AI 2027′, the widely-read scenario mapping the trajectory of artificial intelligence. His follow-up, ‘AI 2040: Plan A’, sets out how the world could still navigate superintelligence safely.
He explains:
- What he saw inside OpenAI that made him walk away
- Why the people building AI privately believe it’s coming even sooner than the public is being told
- What happens if AI becomes powerful enough that humans can no longer control it, and why he puts the odds of catastrophe as high as 70%
- Why almost every job could be automated, and what that means for the next generation
- The plan he believes could still lead to abundance and a future worth living in
