- INFORMATION HAZARDS: A TYPOLOGY OF POTENTIAL HARMS FROM KNOWLEDGE (2011, unknown): “50 52 An existential risk is one that threats to cause the extinction of Earth-originating intelligent life or to permanently and drastically destroy its potential; see Bostrom 2002; Rees 2004.”
- The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (2014, unknown): “Superintelligence is one of several “existential risks” as defined by Bostrom (2002): a risk “where an adverse outcome would either annihilate Earth ‐ originating intelligent life or permanently and drastically curtail its potential”.”
- Dimensions of artificial intelligence anxiety based on the integrated fear acquisition theory (2020, unknown): “In popular terms, it is the risk of human beings being destroyed [20].”
- Thinking Inside the Box: Controlling and Using an Oracle AI (2012, background): “The appearance of superintelligence appears to pose an existential risk: a possibility that humanity is annihilated or has its potential drastically curtailed indefinitely (Bostrom 2001).”
- The Vulnerable World Hypothesis (2019, unknown): “…potential: Retard the development of dangerous and harmful technologies, especially ones that raise the level of existential risk; and accelerate the development of bene fi cial technologies, especially those that reduce the existential risks posed by nature or by other technologies Bostrom, 2002).”
- Artificial Intelligence as a Positive and Negative Factor in Global Risk (2006, background): “Bostrom (2002) defines an existential catastrophe as one which permanently extinguishes Earth-originating intelligent life or destroys a part of its potential .”
- Global Catastrophic Risks (2008, background): “If the AI tribe wins in military conflict and wipes out the humans, then that is an existential catastrophe of the Bang variety (Bostrom, 2001).”
