Artificial intelligence has taken the task of predicting catastrophic events that pose a threat to humanity’s existence. By utilizing advanced models, AI simulates various apocalyptic scenarios, providing forecasts to better understand these extreme risks. From predicting asteroid impacts to volcanic supervolcanic eruptions, AI has become a vital tool in examining potential instigators of the world’s demise. Additionally, AI tackles the cosmic realm, accounting for the eventual collision of the Milky Way with the Andromedan galaxy. Moreover, AI plays a crucial role in assessing catastrophic natural events, pandemics, artificial intelligence takeovers, nuclear war, and biotechnology risks. However, there are concerns about the accuracy of AI predictions, ethical implications, and the potential misuse of AI.
Forecasting the Apocalypse
AI models have determined an occurrence rate for large asteroid collisions capable of causing global catastrophe at approximately once every 100,000 years.
