The p(doom) database · asked and declined
JB Pritzker’s p(doom)
?
What they said
JB Pritzker was asked for a p(doom) on the record (Sep 18, 2026) and did not give a number.
No one should be asking politicians to calculate mathematical probabilities related to AI. Instead, listen to what the experts are telling the world: AI is a threat to humanity's existence.
Statement from a Pritzker spokesperson, not Pritzker in person.
Why this is here
The database records refusals as well as numbers. A refusal is not a number, so it never counts toward any median. If JB Pritzker states a number in public, it gets a row. What p(doom) means, and the case against it.
