Today, Foresight Institute's Existential Hope program is launching AI Pathways, the result of months of work across two in-depth scenario reports designed to open up the meme space of what different AI futures could look like. Rather than prescribing a single preferred outcome, the reports explore two different plausible futures, shaped by the choices we make and the systems we choose to build. The scenarios We developed two in-depth trajectories, each mapped out with timelines, enablers, tensions, and trade-offs. They were chosen to explore two futures that are often mentioned hypothetically, but rarely visualized in practical detail: The Tool AI Pathway A future shaped by powerful but controllable AI systems with limited [...] ---Outline:(00:48) The scenarios(02:08) Why we're doing this(02:55) Metaculus integration(03:20) How they were created(05:15) How you can engage:--- First published: August 19th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/GaFayvcDRCkvFkWri/foresight-institute-launches-two-possible-future-scenarios --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
