Criteria for Resolution:

  1. Intentional Killing: The deaths must be intentional, to the best of our judgment. Incidental or unintended consequences of AI actions, such as side effects from a drug developed by AI, do not qualify.

  2. Event Definition:

- The event may have long-lasting effects, but it must originate from a more or less instantaneous and well-defined initial action by the AI.

- The event can span a longer timeframe if the initial AI action directly leads to the deaths over time (e.g., an AI-initiated blackmailing campaign resulting in deaths occurring up to a year after the initial action).

The numbers are given in millions (M).

If human population is less than 1 billion by the time the event happens and AI kills everyone, then, among 2 potentially qualifying options, the option “All of humanity” will qualify.

This question will resolve N/A if the event does not happen by 2040.

This description may be changed if I can see that there is substantial confusion or ambiguity with the existing description. Generally, in ambiguous cases I will rather resolve YES than NO.

Isn't Israel already using AI to genocide Palestinians?

how can it be "other"?

What about incidental killings from an AI tearing the earth apart for its atoms?

Spoiler: recommendation engines have already caused an increase in suicide, which arguably already meets this criteria

@JohnCarpenter that plus insurance AI auto-denying prior authorizations, and that's even more intentional
