AI experts leave Joe Rogan stunned with bleak prediction about how the world will collapse

AI usage has in the past couple of years, and has no plans to slow down

It's no secret that Artificial Intelligence has absolutely exploded over the years, so when should we be concerned?

Unless you live your entire life offline (which if you're reading this then you don't), you'll have likely noticed major changes in AI impacts your day-to-day life.

In the past year alone, Google unveiled it's 'AI Overview' to all search queries, platforms such as ChatGPT and X's Grok are just a couple of clicks away, while entertainment executives are even utilising computer-generated images in TV and film.

With Artificial Intelligence showing no sign of slowing down anytime soon its left many people wondering the same thing: 'How long until AI overtakes human capability'.

And, if so, how screwed are we?

If the thought of an AI apocalypse is one which leaves you feeling a little uncomfortable then I've got some bad news for you, as two experts in the field recently made a grim assessment when questioned about an 'AI doomsday clock'.

Appearing on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Gladstone AI founders Jeremie and Eduoard Harris were grilled about the future of the technology by the podcaster, who asked: "If there's a doomsday clock for AI... what time is it?"

The pair gave a pretty sobering response to the question, with Jeremie explaining that AI could possibly 'hit human-level... capabilities across the board' as soon as 2027 or 2028.

"You'll be able to have AI on your show and ask it what the doomsday clock is like by then," he added.

If that isn't enough to drum home how close we are to a technological revolution, Jeremie went on to detail how AI research lab Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR) recently conducted a series of studies by giving AI a task to complete then comparing results to a human's work.

Noting how the AI success rate is increasing every four months, he said that the level of work conducted by an AI researcher in a month could be done by a computer with a '50 percent success rate'.

Keen to make sure his listeners fully understood the precipice we're standing on, he asked the pair: "How far away are we looking at something being implemented where the whole world changes?"

Jeremie responded by outlining how AI is 'already changing' the planet. "Is the world already being changed as a result of this yeah absolutely geopolitically economically industrially, yeah," he responded.

"So much of this is untested," Eduoard said of future AI upgrades, adding that researchers such as Open AI are operating in the dark when it comes to scaling up AI.

"They build the next level of scale and they get to sit back along with the rest of us and be surprised at the gifts that fall out of the scaling pinata as they keep whacking it."
