For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast
Suicide or Salvation? In episode #23 TRAILER, AI Risk-Realist John Sherman and Accelerationist Paul Leszczynski debate AI accelerationism, the existential risks and benefits of AI, questioning the AI safety movement and discussing the concept of AI as humanity's child. They ponder whether AI should align with human values and the potential consequences of such alignment. Paul suggests that AI safety efforts could inadvertently lead to the very dangers they aim to prevent. The conversation touches on the philosophy of accelerationism and the influence of human conditioning on our understanding of AI.
