 +====Frequently asked questions====
 +
 +===How does the seniority of the participants affect the results?===
 +
 +One reasonable concern about an expert survey might be that more senior experts are busier and less likely to participate in a survey. We found that authors with over 1000 citations were 69% as likely to participate in the survey as the base rate among those we contacted. We found that differences in seniority had little effect on opinions about the likelihood that HLMI would lead to impacts that were "extremely bad (e.g. human extinction)." (see table below)
