The physicist says it's time to make some severe changes. 

Between climate change, sea level rise, and overcrowding, Hawking believes humans will need to leave to survive.

Stephen Hawking: Humans must leave Earth within 600 years

Stephen Hawking recently amended his estimate of how long we have before humans must leave Earth due to inhospitable conditions and overcrowding.

Stephen Hawking: Humans Must Leave Earth Within 600 Years

This estimate is an increase from his previous timeline of 100 years.

Hawking believes humanity has reached "the point of no return."

Stephen Hawking: "I fear that AI may replace humans altogether"

Artificial Intelligence

In a recent interview with WIRED, famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking again warned about the dangers of super-intelligent AI.

Stephen Hawking: "I Fear That AI May Replace Humans Altogether"

AI could essentially be a "new form of life that will outperform humans."

Or else there will be "serious consequences."

Artificial intelligence will reshape humanity. The only question is whether humans will be better or worse as a result.

Artificial Intelligence is our future. But will it save or destroy humanity?
