What Is Your P(doom)? A 2023 survey of AI researchers found a mean estimated probability of 14.4% and a median of 5% that future AI advancements could cause human extinction or similarly severe and permanent disempowerment within 100 years, according to the P(doom) concept documented in the AI safety field. The term, shorthand for the probability of existentially catastrophic AI outcomes, gained prominence in 2023 after the release of GPT-4 as figures including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio warned of AI risks. Among notable estimates, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei put P(doom) at 10-25%, US AI Safety Institute head of research Paul Christiano at 50%, Center for Applied Rationality founder Andrew Critch at 85%, and Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Marc Andreessen at 0%.
