80,000 Hours Podcast · #245 – Rohin Shah on what it's really like to run AGI safety at Google DeepMind (and where I disagree with 'doomers') · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

At this point, I'm not sure that I can design one that wouldn't have quite a lot of false positives.

So basically my pitch is company safety teams are probably the biggest force for like what companies are, what actually happens on a technical level to make AI systems safe.

And that is a good reason to join them.

Yeah, I mean, so some of the answer is a bit boring, not that generalizable, which is one, just by personality, I'm just fairly stable and my mood doesn't change very much day to day.

And then two,

as has maybe become clear over the course of this episode, I don't think the times are as troubled as everybody else thinks relative to everyone else.

But I do think there is, you know, I guess one thing that I do quite a lot and like quite religiously is like focus on the things that I can control.

And I think this is like quite, it's, this isn't why I do it, but I think it is quite useful for, um,

maintaining a nice and positive spirit during these troubled times, let's say.

It definitely helps keep, keeps me focused on the areas where I do have agency.

And I think it's just, you know, pretty great to be focused on areas where you can actually make a difference.
