Philosopher Dr. Laura Kim argues that existential risks from artificial intelligence deserve priority over other global challenges because of their potentially irreversible nature.
Which risk analysis would best support Kim's prioritization argument?
Unlike climate change or pandemics, advanced AI could permanently alter civilization's trajectory or cause extinction; the expected value of prevention is astronomical even at low probabilities, and the window for intervention is closing—irreversibility demands priority
AI is developing rapidly
Experts express concern
Technology has risks
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. Irreversibility + expected value + closing window justifies priority.
đź’ˇ Strategy: Prioritization claims need comparative analysis of stakes and reversibility.
