In the last year, AI models have rapidly improved on public benchmarks measuring their ability to carry out research tasks autonomously. Such performance suggests that models may be capable of automating parts of the AI R&D process itself, thereby accelerating the pace of AI progress.

Who are the individuals and communities predicting AI doom, AI boom, or AI as normal technology? What motivates them, and what should we make of their predictions? Amidst competing narratives of AI utopia and dystopia, what lessons can we learn from speculative fiction? How can the rest of us take action to ensure a human-centered future that serves all of us and our planet?
