AI researcher Roman Yampolskiy estimates a 99.9% chance that artificial general intelligence (AGI) will wipe out humanity within the next hundred years.

Yampolskiy cites the complexity of AI software and potential for human error as reasons for this high likelihood.

He emphasizes the need for perpetual safety measures to control AI and prevent existential risks.

Other AI experts have also expressed concerns about AI's potential negative impact, with extinction risk predictions ranging from 5% to 20%.

Suggestions have been made for regulatory measures and safety protocols to mitigate these risks.

Despite differing opinions on the likelihood of AI causing harm, there is a consensus on the necessity of precautions for safe AI development and deployment.
