Rogue AI

In this weeks episode, Will and Raju take on Rogue AI, a topic even the smartest minds in the world can’t agree on. They start with a run through of real incidents from the past few weeks, and then dive into the hard questions. Are we moving too quickly without the right safeguards? Can regulation realistically keep pace with AI development? And what can we learn from other high-stakes industries, from nuclear security and space exploration to autonomous vehicles? It’s a wide-ranging conversation about how we continue pushing AI forward without losing control of the risks that come with it.
