In this video we extrapolate the future of AI progress, following a timeline that starts from today’s chatbots to future AI that’s vastly smarter than all of humanity combined–with God-like capabilities. Such AIs will pose a significant extinction risk to humanity.

This video was made in partnership with ControlAI, a nonprofit that cares deeply about humanity surviving the coming intelligence explosion. They are mobilizing experts, politicians, and concerned citizens like you to keep humanity in control. We need you: every voice matters, every action counts, and we’re running out of time.
