The pace and stakes of the AI arms race

"Billionaires are building bunkers because they're afraid AI might take over everything."

AI is advancing at a rate we've never seen before. From sex robots and chatbots helping with therapy to AI rapidly transforming industries, we’re already living in an AI-powered world. And in five to ten years, governments could be guided and run by AIs.

But is it really progress? Or is humanity heading for an AI apocalypse?

In this explosive new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, AI pioneer Emad Mostaque, co-founder and former CEO of Stability AI, lays bare the risks, challenges, and potential of this rapidly advancing technology. From the race to create the next "AI God" to the real-world consequences for jobs, the economy, and society, Emad pulls back the curtain on a future that is rapidly approaching — and may soon be unstoppable.

What emerges is a chilling portrait of an era where AI could reshape the global economy, obliterate jobs, disrupt entire industries, and even change the inner fabric of human relationships.

We unpack:

⚠️ AI replacing human workers — How soon is too soon?

⚠️ AI-driven inequality — Will billions be left behind?

⚠️ Labour revolution — Can a global labour movement take on the challenge?

⚠️ AI Ministers — Is Albania’s AI governance a model or a risk?

⚠️ The “revenue evil curve” — Do tech giants still have a moral compass?

⚠️ Environmental apocalypse — Is AI accelerating the collapse?

⚠️ Sex robots and AI chatbox— Will they redefine human relationships?

⚠️ A different future — Why we need a Universal Basic AI

As Emad warns, “This is an opportunity, but also a threat”. And the question is: “Which direction will we choose before it’s too late?”
