I Launched the AI Safety Clock. Here's What It Tells Us About Existential Risks

If uncontrolled artificial general intelligence--or "God-like" AI--is looming on the horizon, we are now about halfway there. Every day, the clock ticks closer to a potential doomsday scenario. That's why I introduced the AI Safety Clock last month. My goal is simple: I want to make clear that the dangers of uncontrolled AGI are real and present. The Clock's current reading--29 minutes to midnight--is a measure of just how close we are to the critical tipping point where uncontrolled AGI could bring about existential risks.
