October 10, 2025 - 12:02
The debate is ramping up about what happens if, or when, artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence. In recent years, many tech billionaires have openly expressed concerns regarding the implications of advanced AI technologies. This has led to speculation that some of these industry leaders are engaging in "doom prepping," taking steps to safeguard themselves and their assets against potential future crises.
The conversations surrounding AI have intensified as advancements in machine learning and automation continue to accelerate. Experts warn that an uncontrolled rise in AI capabilities could lead to significant societal shifts, including job displacement and ethical dilemmas related to decision-making processes.
As a result, some billionaires are investing in survival strategies, from purchasing remote land to backing research on AI safety. The question remains: should the general public be worried? While the intentions behind these actions may vary, the growing anxiety among the tech elite reflects a broader concern about the future of humanity in an AI-dominated world.
