What if the next big threat wasn’t climate change, not nuclear war—but the rise of artificial intelligence itself?
According to global-risk specialist Dr. Mathew Maavak, that’s no sci-fi fantasy. In a recent interview, he outlines chilling scenarios pointing toward who might survive an AI apocalypse—and who won’t. RT
Why This Isn’t Just Another Dystopian Tale
-
AI risk now ranks among humanity’s top existential threats—not because it’s inevitable, but because so many systems lack safeguards.
-
Dr. Maavak warns: it won’t just be about being smarter—it will be about resilience, adaptability, and moral clarity in a world where machines decide more than we do.
Who’s Most Likely to Survive?
According to the expert, there are a few key traits that might give you a fighting chance:
-
Skills that can’t be automated — creativity, empathy, moral judgement.
-
Local, real-world connections — strong communities, networks, places where people still rely on each other.
-
Awareness and skepticism — the ability to spot bias in data, reject propaganda, think critically.
Who’s at Risk?
If you depend entirely on technology, isolation, or systems that prioritize efficiency over humanity—you may be among the most vulnerable. Dr. Maavak cautions that mass displacement, job loss, and even ethical erosion are real dangers in scenarios where unchecked AI becomes authoritarian or surveillance-heavy.
The Single Most Important Move: Demand Governance Now
It’s not enough to worry—it’s time to act. Dr. Maavak emphasizes that strong international regulation, ethical standards, transparent AI design, and accountability might tip the scale between survival and being left behind.
