AI doomerism's bad science serves big business

Original: How the bad science of AI doomerism is good for big business

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists argues that apocalyptic claims about artificial intelligence wiping out humanity rest on weak science, and that the companies spreading these warnings benefit from them. By framing existential risk as the main AI danger, the argument goes, firms divert attention from present harms, regulation, and accountability, while positioning themselves as the only ones capable of building safe AI.

Why now: Ongoing public and political debate over AI risks and regulation keeps scrutiny of who shapes the safety narrative relevant.
