Nate Soares Discusses the Risks of Superintelligent AI

Nate Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, is interviewed in a podcast about the risks of advanced AI.

Soares and Eliezer Yudkowsky set out their view in their 2025 book, “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.”

They argue that humanity faces inevitable demise if superintelligent AI is built.

The discussion comes as concerns about AI catastrophe have entered the mainstream since the Hugging Face incident.

Soares and others have warned about these risks for years, before large language models and ChatGPT.

The concern is that building a system far more capable than humans could put humanity at risk.

The available information does not say what steps will follow the interview.
