AI researchers including Jacob Coxon, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yoshua Bengio warn that uncontrolled artificial superintelligence could pose extinction-level risks to humanity, with some suggesting loss of control could occur by 2027-2029. Despite these warnings, the Trump administration has shifted toward minimizing AI regulation, though some AI leaders like Dario Amodei are calling for industry-wide development slowdowns to address alignment problems and safety risks.
