Catastrophists versus accelerationists: Will AI destroy the world or save it?
Eliezer Yudkowsky (46) and Nate Soares (37) argue that continued AI improvement will eventually exceed human capabilities and lead to humanity’s extinction. They predict the transition could happen within months or by the end of a decade. Their book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All, frames superhuman AI as an existential threat. Doomers favor international treaties and cite an early-2023 open letter signed by hundreds of AI researchers calling for a six-month research moratorium. Yudkowsky proposed limiting each country’s allowed computing power and destroying violating data centers with air strikes, while boosters argue superintelligence should be pursued to cure diseases, increase efficiency, reduce work, and improve happiness.
