The Coming Wave: Can We Contain the Future?

from Agents of Intelligence · host Sam Zamany

AI, biotech, quantum computing, and robotics—unstoppable forces shaping our future. In this episode, we explore The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman and Michael Bhaskar, a book that warns of an impending technological tsunami that could redefine economies, governments, and global security. Can we contain these breakthroughs before they spiral out of control? Or are we headed toward an era of fragmentation and unchecked corporate power? Join us as we break down the key ideas behind the next great transformation.

Technological advances in AI, biotech, and quantum computing are unstoppable, but their dual-use nature presents massive risks. The Coming Wave argues that while innovation is inevitable, containing its dangers—ranging from security threats to corporate dominance—will be humanity’s greatest challenge. As nation-states weaken and technology becomes more powerful, how do we prevent chaos? Tune in to explore this urgent debate.
