Full Interview Starts At: (00:09:54)

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/forhumanitypodcast

BIG IDEA ALERT: This week’s show has something really big and really new. What if AI Safety didn’t have to carve out a new space in government–what if it could fit into already existing budgets. Emergency Preparedness–in the post 9-11 era–is a massively well funded area of federal and state government here in the US. There are agencies and organizations and big budgets already created to fund the prevention and recovery from disasters of all kinds, asteroids, pandemics, climate-related, terrorist-related, the list goes on an on.

This week’s guest, AI Policy Researcher Akash Wasil, has had more than 80 meetings with congressional staffers about AI existential risk. In Episode 28 trailer, he goes over his framing of AI Safety as Emergency Preparedness, the US vs. China race dynamic, and the vibes on Capitol Hill about AI risk. What does congress think of AI risk?

Episode #25 - “Does The AI Safety Movement Have It All Wrong?” Dr. Émile Torres Interview, For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast

FULL INTERVIEW STARTS AT (00:08:20)

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/forhumanitypodcast

In episode #25, host John Sherman and Dr. Emile Torres explore the concept of humanity's future and the rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and machine superintelligence. Dr. Torres lays out his view that the AI safety movement has it all wrong on existential threat. Concerns are voiced about the potential risks of advanced AI, questioning the effectiveness of AI safety research and the true intentions of companies like OpenAI. Dr. Torres supports a full "stop AI" movement, doubting the benefits of pursuing such powerful AI technologies and highlighting the potential for catastrophic outcomes if AI systems become misaligned with human values or not. The discussion also touches on the urgency of solving AI control problems to avoid human extinction.

Émile P. Torres is a philosopher whose research focuses on existential threats to civilization and humanity. They have published widely in the popular press and scholarly journals, with articles appearing in the Washington Post, Aeon, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Metaphilosophy, Inquiry, Erkenntnis, and Futures.

Episode #25 TRAILER - “Does The AI Safety Movement Have It All Wrong?” Dr. Émile Torres Interview, For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast

In episode #25 TRAILER, host John Sherman and Dr. Emile Torres explore the concept of humanity's future and the rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and machine superintelligence. Dr. Torres lays out his view that the AI safety movement has it all wrong on existential threat. Concerns are voiced about the potential risks of advanced AI, questioning the effectiveness of AI safety research and the true intentions of companies like OpenAI. Dr. Torres supports a full "stop AI" movement, doubting the benefits of pursuing such powerful AI technologies and highlighting the potential for catastrophic outcomes if AI systems become misaligned with human values or not. The discussion also touches on the urgency of solving AI control problems to avoid human extinction.

Émile P. Torres is a philosopher whose research focuses on existential threats to civilization and humanity. They have published widely in the popular press and scholarly journals, with articles appearing in the Washington Post, Aeon, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Metaphilosophy, Inquiry, Erkenntnis, and Futures.
