Google DeepMind's chief AI readiness officer, Lila Ibrahim, has stated that the risk of human extinction from AI is "not zero," aligning with a 2023 statement she signed alongside other tech leaders. While acknowledging the potential for catastrophic outcomes, Ibrahim expressed skepticism about precise probability predictions and dismissed extreme utopian visions of AI's future, such as Elon Musk's prediction of a post-scarcity society by 2036.
