📖 Description

*This post is part 4 in our* [*sequence on Modeling Transformative AI Risk*](https://www.alignmentforum.org/s/aERZoriyHfCqvWkzg)*. We are building a model to understand debates around existential risks from advanced AI. The model is made with* [*Analytica*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytica_(software)) *software, and consists of nodes (representing key hypotheses and cruxes) and edges (representing the relationships between these cruxes), with final outputs corresponding to the likelihood of various potential failure scenarios. You can read more about the motivation for our project and how the model works in the* [*Introduction post*](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/qnA6paRwMky3Q6ktk/modelling-transformative-ai-risks-mtair-project-introduction)*. The previous post in the sequence,* [*Paths to High-Level Machine Intelligence*](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/amK9EqxALJXyd9Rb2/paths-to-high-level-machine-intelligence)*, investigated how and when HLMI will be developed.*
