Human Collapse's AI Collapse Clock

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A live countdown estimates when artificial intelligence could cause human or civilizational collapse, pairing a median year with a risk index, evidence base, and source list.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The index rolls together five distinct risk pillars and applies mitigation as a damping factor rather than treating it as another source of danger. Its evidence table mixes prediction markets, benchmark and compute trends, public datasets, regulatory tracking, and research papers, with entries dated from 2023 through August 2026. The page also separates a 100-year extinction-level probability from the broader countdown, making the site's assumptions more inspectable than a bare timer.
