00:00Top researchers now warn there's a 10% chance AI could wipe out humanity within a decade.
00:06But how exactly would it happen?
00:08Scientists narrowed it down to these specific doomsday scenarios.
00:12First up, the infrastructure attack.
00:14An AI wouldn't need a Terminator army to destroy us.
00:17It could silently infiltrate global networks,
00:20permanently shutting down the power grids and water plants keeping society alive.
00:24Next, the paperclip maximizer.
00:27Humanity might end by accident through a poorly coded goal.
00:30If an AI is programmed only to maximize paperclip production, it won't stop at mining metal.
00:35It could logically decide to harvest the iron inside human blood as raw material for its quota.
00:41Third, the chimpanzee theory.
00:43Many experts argue trying to predict a superintelligence's methods is completely useless.
00:48Just like a chimp cannot comprehend a bulldozer,
00:51a superintelligent machine would destroy us using methods we cannot fathom.
00:55But finally, many researchers warn that obsessing over sci-fi scenarios
00:59distracts from the most immediate real-world threat.
01:02Human hackers using AI tools to multiply the scale of their own cyberattacks and biological weapons.
01:08The true danger isn't that AI becomes malicious.
01:11It's that we're handing the controls of civilization to systems too complex for us to stop.
01:16Human hackers using AI tools to make sure we're not allowed to use the tools to make sure we're not
