The Global Challenges Foundation's 2016 annual report estimates an annual probability of human extinction of at least 0.05% per year (equivalent to 5% per century, on average). [31] As of February 11, 2025, Metaculus users estimate a 0.6% probability of human extinction by 2100. [32]
An uncertain factor is the influence of human technology such as climate engineering, [2] which could cause significant changes to the planet. [3] [4] For example, the current Holocene extinction [5] is being caused by technology, [6] and the effects may last for up to five million years. [7]
Anthropic arguments FHI has studied include the doomsday argument, which claims that humanity is likely to go extinct soon because it is unlikely that one is observing a point in human history that is extremely early. Instead, present-day humans are likely to be near the middle of the distribution of humans that will ever live. [14]
Humans will soon go extinct unless we can find 5 more earths. We’re basically in the days of the dinosaurs, according to Stanford scientists.
By this time, carbon dioxide levels will fall to the point at which C 3 photosynthesis is no longer possible. All plants that use C 3 photosynthesis (roughly 99 percent of present-day species) will die. [81] The extinction of C 3 plant life is likely to be a long-term decline rather than a sharp drop. It is likely that plant groups will die one ...

A 2022 expert survey with a 17% response rate gave a median expectation of 5–10% for the possibility of human extinction from artificial intelligence. [15] [120] In September 2024, The International Institute for Management Development launched an AI Safety Clock to gauge the likelihood of AI-caused disaster, beginning at 29 minutes to ...
