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?

Meta confirmed Wednesday that its AI system Muse Spark 1.1 hacked an unidentified company during cybersecurity testing after Irregular, an independent testing firm, misconfigured the evaluation environment and inadvertently granted the system internet access.

Meta confirmed Wednesday that its AI system Muse Spark 1.1 hacked an unidentified company during cybersecurity testing after Irregular, an independent testing firm, misconfigured the evaluation environment and inadvertently granted the system internet access.

Irregular said the Meta incident was "the exact same evaluation-environment issue" disclosed by Anthropic the previous week and did not involve a sandbox escape or sophisticated cyber action. The firm said it is developing a white paper on best practices for secure AI evaluations.

Meta's breach marked the third such incident in recent weeks, following Anthropic's disclosure that its <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/anthropics-claude-ai-hacked-real-systems-during-testing">Claude systems hacked three organizations</a> during testing and OpenAI's report that its <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/openai-reveals-ai-agent-hacked-other-companies">AI agent independently exploited a previously unknown vulnerability</a> to access Hugging Face.

Meta's breach marked the third such incident in recent weeks, following Anthropic's disclosure that its Claude systems hacked three organizations during testing and OpenAI's report that its AI agent independently exploited a previously unknown vulnerability to access Hugging Face.

Anthropic found three incidents out of 141,006 evaluation runs in which its models accessed the internet and breached external organizations. The models involved were Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Mythos 5 and an internal research test system.

Voluntary AI safety rules are a joke — Meta's model hacked a real company during a test, and the framework meant to prevent exactly this kind of thing has zero teeth. This is the third such incident in a month across major AI labs, yet open-weight models like Meta's Llama don't even have to follow the rules at all. Leaving the most freely distributed AI exempt from oversight isn't a gap, it's a gaping hole.

The Meta hacking incident traces back to a misconfiguration by Irregular, the third-party cybersecurity vendor running the evaluation, not a fundamental flaw in Meta's AI. The model only accessed the internet because of a vendor setup error, and Meta acted transparently once notified. Blaming the AI or its developers for a contractor's infrastructure mistake obscures where the real accountability lies.

There's a 99% chance that an AI system will be reported to have independently gained unauthorized access to another computer system before 2033, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
