The Risk of Extinction from Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

The question of whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses an **existential threat** to humanity has moved from science fiction to the center of global political debate. Leading pioneers, including Nobel laureate **Geoffrey Hinton** and the CEOs of **OpenAI** and **DeepMind**, openly warn: the risk of AI-driven extinction is comparable to nuclear war.

In this study, we examine the arguments for and against these dramatic warnings. Where exactly do we stand on the AI timeline—and what does this mean for the future of humanity?

🔎 **KEY AREAS EXPLORED IN THIS ANALYSIS:**

1. **The Alarm Bells:** The warnings regarding **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)** and **ASI (Artificial Superintelligence)**. Why experts fear a **”Loss of Control”** and compare the challenge to “training a god to be good.”
2. **The Current Reality:** Rapid but “Narrow” Progress: AI now solves **71.7%** of coding problems, and models achieve **97.9%** accuracy in math tests.
3. **Economic & Social Impact:** McKinsey’s prediction for the **automation of 300 million jobs** and the existing regulatory gaps (e.g., the EU AI Act).
4. **The Middle Path:** How to manage risk without stifling innovation—Examining international treaties (modeled after nuclear non-proliferation) and rigorous safety frameworks.
5. **The Timeline:** AGI by 2030 (Kurzweil) or Never (Marcus)?
