[ SLANG ][ AI ][ NOUN ]
A person's stated subjective probability that AI will cause a catastrophic or extinction-level outcome for humanity, expressed as a number and treated as a genuine, if informal, way to compare how worried different people in AI circles actually are.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"His P(doom) is like 20%, mine's closer to 5%, we argue about it constantly."
LORE & ORIGIN
Coined in AI safety and research communities as shorthand for 'probability of doom,' letting people compare pessimism levels with a single number instead of a long qualitative explanation.
