AI and the end of humanity: three opinions

Observador10 September 2026 at 13:32

The dismissal of a researcher from Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, has relaunched the debate on whether AI could cause the end of humanity. This case has generated new concerns and rekindled public discussion about the risks associated with the development of artificial intelligence.

The article gathers three distinct opinions on this issue. Pedro Lomba, Hugo Dantas, and João Pires da Cruz are the contributors who share their perspectives on the potential dangers of AI and the future of humanity in a context increasingly shaped by technological evolution.

The discussion focuses on the possibility of artificial intelligence representing an existential threat to the human species, a topic that has been gaining prominence among specialists, industry companies, and policymakers.
