 Existential risk from artificial intelligence , or AI x-risk , refers to the idea that substantial progress in artificial general intelligence (AGI) could lead to human extinction or an irreversible global catastrophe . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] 

 One argument for the validity of this concern and the importance of this risk references how human beings dominate other species because the human brain possesses distinctive capabilities other animals lack. If AI were to surpass human intelligence and become superintelligent , it might become uncontrollable. [ 5 ] Just as the fate of the mountain gorilla depends on human goodwill, the fate of humanity could depend on the actions of a future machine superintelligence. [ 6 ] 

 Experts disagree on whether artificial general intelligence (AGI) can achieve the capabilities needed for human extinction. Debates center on AGI's technical feasibility, the speed of self-improvement, [ 7 ] and the effectiveness of alignment strategies. [ 8 ] Concerns about superintelligence have been voiced by researchers including Geoffrey Hinton , [ 9 ] Yoshua Bengio , [ 10 ] Demis Hassabis , [ 11 ] and Alan Turing , [ a ] and AI company CEOs such as Dario Am
