Lessons from a Chimp: AI Scheming, Hype, and Scientific Rigor

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

A rigorous, historically informed deep dive into claims that AI models secretly scheme to pursue hidden goals. We scrutinize the parallels with 60s–70s ape-language research, tease apart hype from evidence, and discuss how better controls, theory, and language can improve our understanding of AI safety today.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
