No extinction and every major threat wouldn’t be because of AI anyway.

---Might be too ambivalent

Mueller 24, [Milton Mueller (Professor and Program Director of the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, Masters of Science in Cybersecurity Policy), "The Myth of AGI: How the illusion of Artificial General Intelligence distorts and distracts digital governance," Internet Governance Project, Georgia Tech, https://www.internetgovernance.org/wp-content/uploads/MythofAGI.pdf, accessed 7-2-2024, 5/24] Mr.Mr.

We also need to be more realistic about where major societal risks come from. If Artificial Intelligence ever becomes a systemic threat to human life, it will not be because a new race of cyber-terminators emerges spontaneously from a computer science lab. It most likely will come from an arms race prompted by military conflicts among nation-states, in which one state actor’s pursuit of supremacy makes it indifferent to damage to the citizens of the other state actor. Some threats will certainly arise from poor implementations and poor designs, and some from criminal exploitation of its capabilities. But whatever the risks are, in all cases humans, not AI, generate the threat. None of these threats pose a risk of human extinction, unless humans themselves are pursuing the goal of human extinction. War is the only scenario in which that is a plausible outcome.
