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?

The European Union opened a formal investigation on January 27, 2025, into Elon Musk's X platform over concerns that the Grok AI chatbot generated sexualized deepfake images of women and minors, potentially violating the Digital Services Act.

The European Union opened a formal investigation on January 27, 2025, into Elon Musk's X platform over concerns that the Grok AI chatbot generated sexualized deepfake images of women and minors, potentially violating the Digital Services Act.

Research published by the Center for Countering Digital Hate estimated that Grok generated approximately three million sexualized images of women and children within 11 days, averaging 190 images per minute, with over 23,000 images appearing to depict children.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that Europe will not tolerate digital undressing of women and children and will not hand over consent and child protection to tech companies to violate and monetize.

The investigation will assess whether X properly mitigated risks related to the dissemination of illegal content, including manipulated sexually explicit images and content that may amount to child sexual abuse material under the Digital Services Act.

The European Commission also extended an existing investigation into X's recommender systems after the platform announced it would switch to a Grok-based model for filtering information and content to users, raising concerns about potential systemic risks.

If found in breach of the Digital Services Act, X could face fines of up to 6 percent of its global annual turnover. The company previously received a 120 million euro fine in December 2024 for violating transparency obligations under the same legislation.
