Nick Bostrom suggests AI extinction risk worth taking

Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom, author of Superintelligence, argues in a recent paper that developing advanced AI is a calculated risk worth taking to escape biological mortality. He posits that while AI poses an existential threat, the potential to eliminate death—a 'universal death sentence'—outweighs the chance of accelerating it for current generations. Bostrom connects this argument to his latest book, Deep Utopia, which explores the societal implications of a 'solved world' defined by post-scarcity abundance.
