MIRI President Says AI Will Destroy Humanity Before 2036 With Over 50% Probability
Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), has stated that AI poses an existential threat to humanity before 2036.
He puts the probability of an AI-caused extinction scenario at above 50%.
Soares has stopped contributing to his retirement savings, citing certainty he will not live to see it.
MIRI was founded in 2000 and has spent over two decades focused on long-term AI risk. This is not a fringe voice.
When the researcher most focused on preventing AI catastrophe stops planning for retirement, the implicit signal is worth noting.
