AI doomerism serves big business, critics argue
Original: How the bad science of AI doomerism is good for big business
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists argues that alarmist claims about artificial intelligence destroying humanity rest on weak science, and that this doomerism ultimately benefits major AI companies. By framing existential risk as the central issue, the argument goes, firms can steer debate away from present-day harms, regulation and accountability while appearing responsible.
Why now: Ongoing debate over AI regulation and hype has renewed scrutiny of who benefits from existential-risk narratives.
