> Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.

The comparisons selected here seem off to me.

No mention of climate change? It's a more recent and concrete problem with more hard science (spanning decades) than our current understanding and presumed speculative risk of AI, which governments have also failed spectacularly at curtailing.

The pandemic was similarly mishandled and was not solved with regulation of any sort.

Nuclear war is an arguably apt comparison but happens to have become prioritized by militarization of nuclear resources and research which ... doesn't seem like a good goal here?
