On September 29, 2026, Palisade Research launched frominside.ai, a collection of 12 interviews (and counting) with current and former employees of frontier AI companies, in which those employees express their personal views about AI development.
Most people have no idea how seriously those at the labs take recursive self-improvement (RSI) or the possibility of human extinction. We wanted to get insiders from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind on camera and share what they have to say.
frominside.ai is ongoing! If you work for, or have worked for, a leading AI company, and you want to contribute an interview or a (non-interview) statement to this project, you can get in touch with us here.
We would especially love to hear from capabilities researchers or from employees who are skeptical about the risks, so that those perspectives are also represented in this project.
