Nate Soares, President of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, discussed in a recent podcast his view that humanity faces inevitable demise once superintelligent AI is built. Soares, along with Eliezer Yudkowsky, outlined this vision in their 2025 book "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies," arguing that it is impossible to "align" superintelligent AI, and that the technology will go rogue as it advances.
