In 1947, the Doomsday Clock was first proposed as a way to highlight the danger of nuclear destruction. It ticked dangerously close to midnight throughout the Cold War, particularly during geopolitical flashpoints like the Cuban missile crisis.

Breakthroughs in machine learning have caused many to wonder when computers might take over, and so IMD has launched its own AI Safety Clock. It’s a tool designed to evaluate the risks of uncontrolled artificial general intelligence (UAGI) – autonomous AI systems that operate without human oversight and could potentially cause significant harm.
