For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast
In episode #24, host John Sherman and Nonlinear Co-founder Kat Woods discusses the critical need for prioritizing AI safety in the face of developing superintelligent AI. She compares the challenge to the Titanic's course towards an iceberg, stressing the difficulty in convincing people of the urgency. Woods argues that AI safety is a matter of both altruism and self-preservation. She uses human-animal relations to illustrate the potential consequences of a disparity in intelligence between humans and AI. She notes a positive shift in the perception of AI risks, from fringe to mainstream concern, and shares a personal anecdote from her time in Africa, which informed her views on the universal aversion to death and the importance of preventing harm. Woods's realization of the increasing probability of near-term AI risks further emphasizes the immediate need for action in AI safety.
