AI engineers warn of more than 10% risk to humanity within a decade
AI researchers estimate more than a 10 per cent chance. Artificial intelligence could end human existence within ten years.
Artificial intelligence safety experts from leading tech companies are now warning of catastrophic risk. AI engineers estimate more than a 10 per cent chance.
The technology could pose an existential threat within the next decade. The alarm has prompted some of the most prominent figures in the field.
They include Dario Amodei (Anthropic), Sam Altman (OpenAI), and Elon Musk. They want slower AI development.
The warnings feel urgent now. What once seemed like science fiction has become real.
Hollywood has spent decades showing AI disasters. Examples include Skynet's nuclear war in Terminator, the immobile humans of Wall-E, and the thinking machines of The Matrix.
Those nightmares are no longer safely fictional. The stakes have moved from the screen to real laboratories.

Why it mattersThe people building AI say there is a one in ten chance that AI ends humanity. That makes the risk urgent, not just theoretical.
AustraliaAustralia's tech sector and AI researchers will face pressure to adopt stricter safety standards. Australian universities and companies working on AI will likely face increased scrutiny and regulation.
