AI: Will it End the World?

from Hit Pause with Star Price · host Star Price

When ChatGPT 2 dropped, Connor Leahy had one reaction: "Oh shit." He wasn't being dramatic. He was being honest. Connor Leahy is the US Director of ControlAI, one of the few organizations actively working to regulate artificial intelligence before it outpaces our ability to control it. We get into what artificial intelligence is actually capable of right now, why the tech industry won't regulate itself, and whether governments have any real shot at stopping AI before it's too late. Is artificial intelligence dangerous? Can AI be regulated? Is AGI actually possible? These aren't hypothetical questions anymore. This isn't doom scrolling. This is the conversation we should all be having. No spin. No talking points.
