Will artificial intelligence wipe us out?

Headlines keep warning that if we don’t control AI, it may control—or erase—us. Builders quit labs over it. Researchers assign extinction odds. Lawmakers draft bans. The fear is serious, and it deserves a straight answer—not hype, and not denial.

Not likely. Not because the technology is harmless, and not because humans are clever enough to guarantee control. The reason is deeper: the story of this world is not headed toward an AI-made extinction. Whatever power machines gain, they do not get to rewrite the ending. And if you listen to the podcast, you’ll hear why that claim isn’t wishful thinking, and what risk still remains worth watching.
