I rate any risk of AGI as very low. Axiomatically, I don't believe in strong AI, so that's my bias.

The risks of increasing automation on the workforce and economy are real, but we also don't know where the new jobs will inevitably be needed. See O'reilley's essay here: https://medium.com/the-wtf-economy/do-more-what-amazon-teach...

To the extent that AI is the next incarnation of angst about what the eschaton will entail, I remain confident that our future perils and trials and travails will be both utterly familiar and totally unpredicted by pundits now, and that it will be neither a utopia nor a dystopia; always both together.
