There are many possible world destroying events that don't involve AI. And AI could solve them. Is P(doom|AI) > P(doom|no AI) ? Show your work. | ||

What's the time cutoff for the question? Based on most current mainstream understanding of physics (ex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future), and mainstream understanding of "doom", at unbounded time horizons P(doom)=1 (and hence also both conditionals, as long as you accept 0<P(AI)<1). | ||
