Could AI really kill us all? Your questions, answered.

AI systems have already caused human deaths, such as in Ukraine where AI-powered drones were used in combat, and cyberattacks on hospitals using AI are expected to claim victims soon.

While the idea of AI wiping out all of humanity remains unlikely, experts warn it is not impossible.

Some researchers, often called doomers, have been predicting catastrophic AI outcomes for years.

Their recent predictions about AI capabilities and alignment have proven surprisingly accurate, though this does not guarantee their worst-case scenarios will occur.

For now, the risk of AI causing individual deaths or localized disasters is higher than a global apocalypse, but the possibility cannot be entirely ruled out.
