AGI alignment: the case for hope, with Lou de K

Our guest in this episode is Lou de K, Program Director at the Foresight Institute.

David recently saw Lou give a marvellous talk at the TransVision conference in Utrecht in the Netherlands, on the subject of “AGI Alignment: Challenges and Hope”. Lou kindly agreed to join us to review some of the ideas in that talk and to explore their consequences.
