Also, apparently NASA is putting the odds of a collision with Bennu, which is about the same size as Dimorphos, at 1/1750 in the next three centuries. That’s not quite the same timeframe, and this is just a quick Google search result. A more authoritative number would be helpful. Given AI risk and the pace of tech change, I think it makes sense to highly prioritize asteroid impacts this century, not in three centuries.
