	==~~= Existential Risk =~~==		==Career==
	Bostrom is ~~well-known for his work on~~ [[~~existential risk~~]], ~~which refers to risks that could threaten~~ the ~~entire future~~ of ~~humanity~~. ~~He has argued~~ that the ~~development~~ of [[artificial ~~general~~ intelligence]] ~~(AGI) could pose significant risks if not properly managed~~.		Bostrom is a professor at the [[University of Oxford]], where he founded the [[Future of Humanity Institute]] in 2005. The institute is a multidisciplinary research center that focuses on big-picture questions for humanity, including the future of [[artificial intelligence]], [[biotechnology]], and [[climate change]].

Bostrom is well-known for his research on [[existential risk]], which refers to risks that could lead to human extinction or the permanent and drastic curtailment of humanity's potential. He has argued that the development of [[artificial general intelligence]] (AGI) poses one of the greatest existential risks to humanity.

	=== ~~Superintelligence~~ ===		===Artificial Intelligence===
	~~In his~~ book ''[[Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies]]'', ~~Bostrom~~ explores the potential future of artificial intelligence and the challenges ~~it poses.
