  • OceanGate was a company that sent people in submarines to the ocean floor until one of the submarines imploded, resulting in the death of all five people on board, including Söhnlein, the co-founder.

  • Even though it has been 10 years since Söhnlein left the company, you would think that after such a tragedy, he would want to avoid risky ventures for a while.

  • “I believe it is less ambitious than putting 1 million people on the surface of Mars by 2050,” he reflected.

  • “I think I have been driven to make humanity a multiplanetary species since I was 11 years old,” he shared with Insider.

Quick Glance: AI experts warn of humanity's extinction
  • Leading AI experts warn that artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity.

  • "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war" emphasize the experts.

  • Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind and Dario Amodei of Anthropic support this statement.

  • While many other experts consider fears of AI wiping out humanity unrealistic, there are existing problems such as bias in systems that require attention.
