Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, Tom sits down for part two of his riveting conversation with Dr. Roman Yampolski, a leading AI safety researcher. Together, they dive deep into the existential risks and moral quandaries posed by artificial superintelligence, exploring why even some of the industry’s most vocal advocates for caution—like Elon Musk—end up accelerating the development of advanced AI.

Dr. Yampolski pulls no punches, explaining why attempts to control superintelligent systems might be futile, the challenges of aligning AI interests with humanity’s well-being, and the reasons he’s so skeptical that society can pump the brakes on innovation. The discussion ranges from the dangers of an unchecked AI arms race and the psychological burden of confronting these risks, to practical approaches for boosting AI safety and the impact of emerging technologies like quantum computing and genetic engineering.

Tom and Roman also touch on longevity science, ethics around gene editing, and the future of personal adaptation across generations. Whether you’re an optimist about technology or deeply concerned about humanity’s trajectory, this episode is packed with insight, tough questions, and thought-provoking perspectives that will leave you rethinking the future of intelligence—both artificial and human.
