(paper coauthor here) When you ask whether the paper indicates that DeepMind is paying attention to AI risk, are you referring to DeepMind’s leadership, AI safety team, the overall company culture, or something else?
I think the DeepMind founders care a lot about AI safety (e.g. Shane Legg is a coauthor of the paper). Regarding the overall culture, I would say that the average DeepMind researcher is somewhat more interested in safety than the average ML researcher in general.

I was thinking about the DeepMind leadership when I asked, but I’m also very interested in the overall company culture.
