Existential risk from artificial intelligence

Hypothesized risk to human existence

It has been hypothesized that substantial progress toward artificial superintelligence (ASI) will lead to human extinction or another irreversible global catastrophe. Debates center on whether AI can achieve the capabilities needed for human extinction, the speed of self-improvement, and the effectiveness of strategies to keep it aligned with human values. Controlling a superintelligent machine or instilling human-compatible values in it may be difficult.
