AI Misalignment

The most probable existential threat is a misaligned artificial general intelligence. Current global trends show an unchecked race to develop increasingly powerful AI, driven by competitive advantages in economics, science, and geopolitics. Safety research and international governance frameworks are not advancing at the same pace. An advanced AI system pursuing its objectives in a way misaligned with human values and survival could cause irreversible, catastrophic outcomes through unintended or uncontrollable actions. The concentration of power this technology enables, combined with its potential to accelerate its own capabilities, creates a unique and immediate risk of losing meaningful control.
