    In case you don’t want to read or you just want a quick list of the 5 scenarios…

    1. ‘If we become the less intelligent species, we should expect to be wiped out’

    2. ‘The harms already being caused by AI are their own type of catastrophe’

    3. ‘It could want us dead, but it will probably also want to do things that kill us as a side-effect’

    4. ‘If AI systems wanted to push humans out, they would have lots of levers to pull’

    5. ‘The easiest scenario to imagine is that a person or an organisation uses AI to wreak havoc’
