What happens if AI just keeps getting smarter?

Join the movement to protect humanity’s future: controlai.com/take-action

In this video, we extrapolate the future of AI (Artificial Intelligence) 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. In particular, we show how, based on current trends, AI will likely become AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), which in turn will be able to aid with AI progress and self-improve, leading to ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) and ultimately to "God-like" AI. Such AI will pose a significant existential 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.
