- Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy which posits that a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would result in the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender.[1] It is based on the theory of rational deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy’s use of those same weapons. The strategy is a form of Nash equilibrium in which, once armed, neither side has any incentive to initiate a conflict or to disarm.

Human extinction scenarios from ASI loss of control
(1) Silently plan escape & take-over, acquire required knowledge
(2) Deceptively & gradually increase influence over humans & society (persuasion, hacking, bribery, disinformation…) to accelerate AI advances, robotics & industrial automation
(3) When humans are not necessary to the AI, escape + release multiple waves of weapons of mass destruction, e.g., bioweapons
