I don't know any of these people's intentions but I definitely have an inate distrust of whoever brands themselves as "a council that actually has humanities interests in mind". Can you get any more populist than that?

considering how an AI is built, it's ironic that you're skeptical of popular thinking.

Oh, cut it. We're talking about a non-profit organisation that wants to keep the pace of scientific progress on AGI research slow enough to make time for society to gauge the ethical implications on an actual AGI, should it emerge.

Nobody is telling you how to live your life, unless your life's goal is to erect Skynet.

Or so they say. I have no reason to trust them. It is not some little thing we are talking about
