Nick Bostrom Has a Plan for Humanity’s ‘Big Retirement’

Nick Bostrom says advanced AI could either wipe out humanity or help create a radically longer-lived, abundant future.

In discussing his new book Deep Utopia, he highlights a post-scarcity world that would force a rethink of work, purpose, and the good life.

The shift broadens his long-running AI debate from existential risk to the possibilities of AI-enabled human flourishing.

As a leading AI thinker, Bostrom’s view is shaping how policymakers and technologists weigh both the dangers and upside of advanced AI.
