42 leading mathematicians warn that AI existential risk is real and urgent

42 leading mathematicians, including Fields Medalists, urge the Royal Society to warn the UK government about urgent AI existential risk.

An open letter signed by 42 mathematicians, including Fields Medal winners Martin Hairer, Peter Scholze, and Wendelin Werner, asks the president of the Royal Society to alert the UK government and media to existential risk from advanced AI. The signatories cite frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic solving open research problems including a Millennium Problem and performing at the level of top human mathematicians. They warn that similar rates of capability change could apply to cybersecurity, autonomous weapon control, biological and chemical agent development, and targeted misinformation.

Anthropic built an economic model that frames its CEO's bleakest job forecasts as an outlier scenario

Anthropic published an economic model with three US economic scenarios through 2030, framing CEO Dario Amodei's bleakest job-loss forecasts as the outlier outcome.

Anthropic released an economic model outlining three scenarios for AI's impact on the US economy through 2030. The modest scenario resembles the internet's impact with stable wages, the middle scenario doubles growth while knowledge worker wages stagnate, and the extreme scenario projects 17.9% knowledge worker unemployment with labor's GDP share falling from 60% to 45%. CEO Dario Amodei's May 2025 warning of up to half of entry-level office jobs vanishing and 10-20% unemployment aligns with the extreme scenario, which the model treats as the least likely outcome.
