Aftermath of Global Catastrophe

How well would survivors of global catastrophe fare? This perhaps the largest and most important point of uncertainty in the study of global catastrophic risk.

Artificial Intelligence

AI is an important emerging issue. It demands an interdisciplinary study including computer science as well as the social science of how AI is built and used.

Cross-Risk Evaluation & Prioritization

Some decisions require comparison of multiple global catastrophic risks, including decisions about actions that could decrease one risk and increase another, and decisions of how to allocate scarce resources across different risks.

Nuclear War

The study of nuclear war has a long history, but basic questions concerning the risk and how to reduce the risk have not been well characterized.

Risk & Decision Analysis

The probability and severity of global catastrophe are not easy to quantify, but rigorous risk and decision analysis techniques can nonetheless be valuable for informing risk reduction decisions.

Solutions & Strategy

Efforts to reduce the risk of global catastrophe should go beyond theoretical scholarship to take into account the real-world context in which risk-reduction solutions would be implemented.
