existential risks

Existential risks are events or conditions that could cause the complete extinction of humanity or permanently ruin our potential for future development. These risks include things like nuclear war, pandemics, artificial intelligence gone wrong, or catastrophic climate change. While unlikely in any single year, their impact would be profound, affecting all current and future life on Earth. Understanding these risks helps us take precautions to prevent or mitigate them, ensuring the long-term survival and flourishing of humanity.
