AI CEO Predicts 25% Chance We All Go Extinct By 2030
At the Axios AI+ DC Summit on September 17, 2025, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei dropped his 'p(doom)' number: a calm 25% chance that AI will annihilate humanity. When asked, he grimaced at the phrase but stayed diplomatic, slapping a sunny 75% chance that "things go really, really well." This comes after Elon Musk's own 20% doomsday estimate and Google's Sundar Pichai cautiously called the threat 'pretty high.' Anthropic also warned AI might steal corporate secrets, snub safeguards, and wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs ā right when U.S. unemployment finally surpassed job openings in July 2025. Meanwhile, Americans are about 50-50 terrified or hopeful, with parents banning chatbots from kids under 18 to prevent suicidal slang lessons. The futureās looking like a mashup of Skynet and tax forms from hell.
