By the early 2020s Yudkowsky had concluded that the AI-alignment problem would not be solved before the technology became dangerous, and he shifted to public advocacy for halting frontier AI development. The *Time* essay, published March 29, 2023, was written as an explanation of why he had declined to sign the [[Future of Life Institute]]'s "Pause Giant AI Experiments" open letter earlier that month: he regarded its call for a six-month pause as understating the danger and asking for too little. He called instead for an indefinite, internationally enforced moratorium on large training runs, the shutting down of all large GPU clusters, a cap on computing power any single actor could assemble, and a willingness to "destroy a rogue datacenter by airstrike," writing that nations should run "some risk of nuclear exchange" rather than allow an unaligned superintelligence to be built.[^6]
In September 2025 Yudkowsky and Nate Soares published *If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All* through Little, Brown and Company, arguing that the default outcome of building superhuman AI is loss of human control and extinction because modern systems are opaque trained neural networks rather than hand-written code. The book reached the *New York Times* best-seller list on October 5, 2025, carried endorsements ranging from the actor Stephen Fry to a former senior director of the White House National Security Council, and was cited in the United States Congress and the House of Lords.[^9]
