Do you actually have empirical data demonstrating that scientists aren't concerned about AI, or that "most" AI safety doesn't involve scientists, or is this just your gut feeling?

Edit: for instance, here's a computer science professor and neurologist who published a serious book about all the dangers of AI, and calling for funding safety research:

Furthermore, AI safety programs are hiring actual AI researchers and computer scientists to actually do the work, so are you claiming that these people don't sincerely believe in the work they're doing?
