Futures of AI Mini-Series

The future of AI is maybe beautiful, maybe scary, and definitely uncertain. But we do have a say in how it rolls out. From lab policies to international treaties, people all over the world are trying to figure out how to build and use AI in safe, responsible ways. But when the stakes are so high, can humanity really come together and keep AI under control?

Could a robot dedicated to a good cause end up destroying the world? Well, maybe. In this episode, we explore how powerful AI could end up causing us harm, regardless of what it’s programmed for. Between misuse by humans, alignment problems, and instrumental goals, even AI built with good intentions could end up breaking bad…unless we do something about it.

Way back in the 1930s, Alan Turing gave us a glimpse of the power of computers with a hypothetical machine that, he said, could solve any computable problem. But that was nonsense…right? Well thanks to recursive progress, maybe not. In this episode, we’ll explore how humans (and computers) make progress, and try to find out just how powerful AI could become.
