The AI Doomers Who Shaped the Safety Debate
Original: ‘Things Will Never Be Chill Again’: The Doomers Who Shaped the AI Safety Freakout
A Wall Street Journal feature examines the 'doomers' — researchers and commentators who warned that advanced artificial intelligence could threaten humanity — and traces how their arguments shaped the AI safety debate. The profile explores their worldview, their influence on policy and public concern, and the phrase 'things will never be chill again' capturing their conviction that AI risk is now unavoidable.
Why now: Ongoing public and policy concern over AI safety keeps attention on the figures who drove the alarm.
