Understand AI risk without drowning in the firehose.
PDOOM turns public reporting, research, policy, and expert forecasts into a source-backed view of what changed and why it matters.
Where to start
The Situation Room groups reports into developments and ranks what deserves attention.
02Read only the strongest signalsEssential Reading removes the lower-priority material from the feed.
03Put today in contextThe Timeline connects current developments to the milestones that shaped the field.
04Inspect the full feedSearch and filter every monitored headline when you want the underlying detail.
What does p(doom) mean?
p(doom) is shorthand for someone's estimated probability that advanced artificial intelligence causes human extinction or another irreversible global catastrophe. Estimates vary dramatically because the evidence, timelines, and assumptions remain disputed.
What PDOOM does
PDOOM monitors a focused set of AI-risk, research, policy, security, and frontier-lab sources. It groups related coverage, highlights major movement, and keeps the original reporting one click away.
What the numbers mean
A composite discourse signal based on selected prediction markets and recent headline language. It is not a scientific estimate of extinction risk.
A triage tool combining recency, source breadth, report volume, and topic relevance. It answers “what should I inspect first?”
A measure of coverage breadth. Multiple sources do not automatically mean that the sources agree or independently verified a claim.
A high relevance designation. It means the material is worth attention, not that PDOOM endorses its conclusions.
Focused, attributable, and inspectable.
PDOOM is not a general technology-news site and does not reproduce full articles. It surfaces material related to catastrophic risk, alignment and control, frontier capabilities, governance, misuse, corporate safety, and forecasting.
Every monitored story links to its original source. Scores help organize the evidence; they do not replace reading it.
