Description

What if the relentless pursuit of superhuman AI has only one possible, inevitable outcome: the complete annihilation of humanity? That's the terrifying premise of a new #1 bestselling book that's grabbing attention everywhere from subway ads to Silicon Valley.

In this episode, Noah Heldman (OutcomeSource) dives into the chilling arguments from "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All." He breaks down the book's core claims, from an AI that can master biology to the fundamental problem that we can't understand how it thinks. But just when the existential dread sets in, Ben Griswold (Grizen) helps pivot the conversation to a surprisingly optimistic conclusion. Is this a doomsday prophecy, or is it the ultimate motivation to live life to the fullest?

• The core arguments of the terrifying new book about the risks of superhuman AI.
