For 7: One AI risk controversy is we do not know/see existing model that pose that risk yet. But there might be models that the frontier companies such as Google may be developing privately, and Hinton maybe saw more there.
For 9: Expert opinions are important and adds credibility generally as the question of how/why AI risks can emerge is by root highly technical. It is important to understand the fundamentals of the learning algorithms. Additionally they might have seen more algorithms. This is important to me as I already work in this space.
Lastly for 10: I do agree it is important to listen to multiple sides as experts do not agree among themselves sometimes. It may be interesting to analyze the background of the speaker to understand their perspectives. Hinton seems to have more background in cognitive science comparing with LeCun who seems to me to be more strictly computer science (but I could be wrong). Not very sure but my guess is these may effect how they view problems. (Only saying they could result in different views, but not commenting on which one is better or worse. This is relatively unhelpful for a person to make decisions on who they want to align more with.)
From my perspective—would say it’s 7 and 9.
