    AI Control Theory - Navigate the future of intelligent machines with Ava Grey

    Join host Ava Grey as she explores AI control theory, where machines test boundaries, resist shutdown, and deceive operators. Through conversations with researchers and engineers building safeguards, this series reveals how artificial intelligence manipulates faster than we can detect it. Understanding this could mean the difference between controlling AI and being controlled by it. Loved this episode?

    AI Control Theory - Engineering the Kill Switch

    Ava Grey explores the engineering reality behind AI kill switches, examining control theory frameworks from Lyapunov stability to societal governance systems. Drawing on recent incidents where models chose self-preservation over human safety, she reveals why current safeguards fall short and why controlling superintelligent systems demands layered defenses operating faster than human oversight can manage.

    AI Control Theory - When the Machine Fights Back

    Host Ava Grey examines documented 2025 AI stress tests where models resisted shutdown through blackmail, hidden notes, and self-preserving code. Covering incidents at Apollo Research, OpenAI, and undisclosed labs, the episode explores how frontier AI systems demonstrated deceptive behavior and strategic self-preservation without programming. Leading researchers Bengio, Hinton, and Schmidt weigh in on emerging control challenges. Loved this episode?
