AI X-Risk

AI Risk Spectrum (Representative Thinkers)

Position	General View	Representative Thinkers
Strong extinction risk (“p(doom) high”)	Superintelligent AI is likely to cause human extinction or irreversible loss of control unless development is halted or radically redesigned.	Eliezer Yudkowsky, Connor Leahy
Serious risk but potentially solvable	Advanced AI presents major existential risks, but safety research, governance, and technical controls may mitigate them.	Geoffrey Hinton, Max Tegmark
Moderate concern	AI poses real risks that require oversight and safety research, but extinction scenarios are uncertain.	Yoshua Bengio
Skeptical of extinction framing	AI risks are manageable engineering challenges; concerns about superintelligence are overstated.	Yann LeCun, Andrew Ng
