Episode notes

AI needs to be done proactively rather than reactively, if something goes wrong in this domain, we may not get the chance to fix it. The problem is that competition within and between nations pushes against any common sense safety measures. We need research on AI safety to progress as quickly as research on improving AI capabilities. There aren't many market incentives for this, so governments should offer robust funding as soon as possible. Once we hand over control, we won't get it back. It is time to take this threat seriously.

TIME Magazine's current cover story is titled "The End of Humanity: How Real Is The Risk?" It's a marker of how much the AI risk and safety conversation has gone mainstream.
