Would it be a good idea to have AI safety experts be put under a lie detector to make it more plausible to the doubters (who believe AI risk is a marketing stunt) that AI risk is real. Some skeptics may be swayed if they believe AI safety experts are Genuinely concerned. I am aware that lie detectors are not very reliable and can give false positive or negative results, but this may work. I intuitively think this is not a good idea, and think I have likely overlooked a key flaw.
