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?

Stuart Russell

Shane Legg

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?

The AI industry's unprecedented $717 billion investment over three years represents an unsustainable bubble destined to collapse catastrophically. With infrastructure spending vastly outpacing actual end-user revenue and multiple tech giants each burning hundreds of billions chasing the same monopoly, most players face inevitable write-offs that will devastate equity investors and potentially crash the broader economy.

Human-centric AI represents the future of the industry, as proven by Humans& raising $480 million at a $4.48 billion valuation just three months after launch. Building AI that amplifies rather than replaces workers addresses real collaboration needs that autonomous systems ignore, attracting backing from tech giants and visionaries who understand complementary human-machine partnerships create far more value than replacement-focused approaches.

There's a 50% chance that the first weakly general AI system will be devised, tested, and publicly announced by Nov. 19, 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
