Could artificial intelligence actually pose an existential threat to humanity?

Dr. John Abraham, professor and program director in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of St. Thomas, joins Wisconsin’s Morning News to discuss growing concerns from people inside the AI industry—including warnings from a former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher.

Abraham explains what “existential risk” means, why some AI researchers are worried about recursive self-improvement, and how highly capable AI systems could pursue goals in ways humans never intended.

The conversation also tackles one of the biggest questions surrounding AI: if systems eventually become smarter than humans, how do we keep them under control?

Plus, Abraham explains why the future of AI is not all doom and gloom—and why the technology could still become one of the greatest tools humanity has ever created.
