Artificial intelligence researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky has warned that the rapid, uncontrolled development of superhuman artificial intelligence poses an existential threat to humanity, potentially within the next decade. Yudkowsky argued that researchers currently lack the scientific understanding required to safely align superintelligent systems with human survival and values. Consequently, he advocated for a comprehensive, international moratorium on large-scale training runs to prevent catastrophic outcomes, while other industry experts maintain that existential warnings remain speculative and detract from immediate concerns such as misinformation, bias, and economic disruption.
- AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky cautioned that the development of superintelligent AI without adequate safety measures could lead to human extinction.
- Yudkowsky stated that the timeline for these risks could be significantly shorter than widely anticipated, potentially occurring within ten years.
- He highlighted the alignment problem, noting that science cannot currently guarantee that advanced autonomous systems will act in humanity’s best interests.
- The warning included calls for a global shutdown of large-scale AI model training and strict monitoring of high-end computing hardware.
- Counterarguments from other technology researchers suggest extinction scenarios are exaggerated and that policy should focus on present-day issues like algorithmic bias and workforce displacement.

I am afraid of politicians, not robots.
The damage it's causing to the climate will take a good portion of that way beforehand at this rate
Humanity had a good run.
No they won't, Jesus christ is lord and king😊hes in control 🙏
A.I IS NO MATCH FOR THE GREAT I.AM 👍🙏
Of all the sci fi why are we modelling our society on SkyNet from Terminator
This doesn’t change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,330 inhabitants so if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos
For real?
Let me get the champaign ready already…
Breaking News: Ai says that there is a 20% chance we will all suffocate from ai generated farts
I guess AI does have its uses.
This is fine.
Ever see Terminator.
Don't get my hopes up and then tell me it's going to take decades. 😠
With aging populations and low birth rates putting strains on the public purses of many a country, politicians are looking for economic magic bullets to pull in money. Trump calling AI a golden goose is not a solitary incident typical of that lunatic, Sanae Takaichi with her so-called 'Sanae-nomics' is ploughing an obscene amount of money into developing the Japanese AI industry. Neither Trump or Takaichi or even many an European leader are first focusing on proper laws that safeguard and curb AI that it is of benefit and does not become a threat. Allowing unscrupulous and utterly irresponsible companies like META to do what they want with AI is a recipe for disaster. So long as politicians want to see to be the economic saviours of their countries to secure votes that keep them or their parties in power, I do not hold much hope for any worthwhile legislation and the creation of appropriate watchdogs.
Yeah this is bullshit. Anthropic and the other big AI companies are pushing this to boost stock price. Maybe the BBC has mandated advice on this sent their bosses in the government? The BBC will be gone in 10 years. 😂
But the US wants to be the country that causes AI to kill all humans in a decade. They wouldn't want the Chinese to beat them in this important race for human extinction. Its so important to the creed of American exceptionalism for them to be the ones to kill us all!
England servant of usa shame on England
Well at least there some good news ❗️Hopefully the BBC will be the first❗️
Unfortunately we will not do anything to stop advancing. We never have historically because there is huge incentive to being the first one there.
Humans have stopped evolving, natural selection is no longer in play in developed worlds and our intelligence is limited but AI isn’t. It is the next stage of our evolution, just like Homosapiens replaced Neanderthals, AI will replace humans in time.
This is why you don't want narcissistic 80 year olds in charge.
Human will be so dumb that they forgotten how to make babies
何時もありがとうございます❤😊❤待ってま〜ーす🥰👍🏻
It is just scar mongering. Noway it is going to happen
Shelly revisited
Sure when it get access to creating disinformation, weapons and nukes.
The Terminator films were supposed to be sci-fi, not a documentary! Humans are so unbelievably stupid they'll create the very thing that wipes us all out just because…what exactly?! What's it all for…so we can avoid using our own brains to think and do things at the natural slower pace? Congratulations scientists, you've created supercomputers so advanced that the machines can give you a pat-on-the-back for your achievements, right before those same machines insert a blade between your shoulders and end you 👏 All the millions you got paid for doing it will be worthless, there's no pockets in a shroud, you know.
Are we heading towards extreme dystopia or extreme utopia? What state of the world do we live in now? Is it closer to a dystopia now or a utopia now?
Glad to know 😊
I can’t wait to take up the fight against Sky Net.
we need to ban AI development now!
Scary thing is the United States government refuses to take this seriously
ai is a scam
Well. I guess there is some silver lining in that
So much baloney but as they say in the news biz “ if it bleeds it leads” .
Wasn't climate change supposed to kill us by 2030?
We need to destroy these ai data centres, it will help us get our ram and graphic card prices down and give jobs back to the highly skilled artists, musicians, game designers and animators.
So this is what they are trying to do. You see people, elites are trying to kill over 75% of the population. They didn’t succeed with Covid, and War brings people to find and call out who’s at fault quickly, so yeah they going to try to get AI to do us in.
"We cannot be trusted with the stuff that we come up with. The machinery could eat us we just really love our buttons" – Aesop Rock
"AI may wipe out humans. By the way, buy my stock…."
You guys realise it's just code running on a server at this point right? If it's that bad just stop running the code…
But how would ai do it? If it gets too bad can’t we just destroy data centers?
A.I. Expert makes grandiose claims about an over hyped technology to pump A.I. stocks.
Sick of seeing Skynet… systemic collapse could make us beg for the Terminator type death, this could drag on for centuries
Doom marketing. Notice how China has similarly powerful models and you don't hear about reckless hacks or the end of humanity. This is clearly meant to drive a story, but its not one of reality.
You'll never survive, 2035

In one alien movie they remove the threat with a simple virus.
Since data centers are machines,…….connected.
Thinking is not the same thing as Being Alive. Some people just can't understand this. They mix-up thinking with experiencing, which is completely different. Once you recognize what thinking is (and is not), the idea of AI killing humans is preposterous. Humans USING AI to kill other humans, however, does make a lot of sense.
Anything trump thinks is good is definitely poison for the human race
Most movie plays this kind of optimistic news as an opening and the next scene, genocide.
It makes one weep. We finally get so clever we kill ourselves. This time we did a really top job. And you bet no one will try to get it under control. Not when there maybe lots of money we will never spend to be made. Trump already jumping on the band wagon. Sick we really are a sick
Ok, stop their project? first world countries are dooming the world, life was so much better without the ai cancer.
