There's a "wall of fear-mongering and doomerism" in the AI world right now.

"Worrying about AI today is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars."

Concerns that AI could pose a threat to humanity is "preposterously ridiculous."

Claiming AI poses an existential threat is "such an extreme" and risks "wip[ing] out some of its potential benefits."

"I'm more concerned about... the risks that are here and now [than the existential threat of AI]."

Current AI is "not anywhere close" to posing an existential threat but it could in the future.

AI is the "biggest existential threat" to humanity.

AGI's worst-case scenario would be "lights-out for all of us."

Powerful AI systems "taking control" pose an "existential threat."

AI has a "10 to 25 per cent" chance of destroying humanity.

"The most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI... is that literally everyone on Earth will die."

Does AI Pose an Existential Threat to Humanity?

Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI.

"[W]e will eventually reach AGI... and quite possibly before the end of this century."

"Superhuman AIs" will be achieved "between a few years and a couple of decades."

"Digital intelligence" could overtake us within "5 to 20 years."

We may achieve "something like AGI or AGI-like in the next decade."

"[W]e could get to real AGI in the next decade."

"Human-level" AI could occur in "two or three years."

"I'd be surprised if we don't have AGI by [2029]."

Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence, and When?

Researchers conducted a study where large language models including ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini were placed in simulated psychotherapy sessions for up to four weeks. The models generated responses that, when evaluated using standard diagnostic tests, met or exceeded clinical thresholds for conditions including anxiety and trauma.

A November survey found that one in three adults in the United Kingdom had used a chatbot to support their mental health or well-being. Among those who used chatbots, 66% found them beneficial, while 11% reported receiving harmful information around suicide.

Research published in Science Advances demonstrated that groups of large language models playing interactive games can develop social norms and adopt their own rules for language use. The study showed that AI systems can autonomously develop social conventions without explicit programming.
