Nate Soares Warns of Superintelligent AI Doomsday Scenarios

Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, believes that superintelligent artificial intelligence is impossible to align and will inevitably go rogue as it becomes more advanced. Soares co-authored the 2025 book "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" with Eliezer Yudkowsky, which outlines their vision of humanity's demise upon the creation of superintelligent AI. Concerns over AI doomsday scenarios have gained mainstream attention following the Hugging Face incident, though warnings about these possibilities have existed for years, predating large language models and ChatGPT. Soares's perspective focuses on the inherent risks associated with developing increasingly sophisticated AI technologies.
