Perhaps not one that “threatens the premature extinction of Earth-originating intelligent life” (Bostrom, 2012)

I just want to flag that the full sentence from that paper is: “An existential risk is one that threatens the premature extinction of Earth-originating intelligent life or the permanent and drastic destruction of its potential for desirable future development (Bostrom 2002).”
