AI at a Breaking Point? 

Researchers and employees at some of the world’s leading artificial intelligence companies are warning that, within the next decade, the technology could pose catastrophic risks — including, in the most extreme scenarios, a threat to human survival. Some industry leaders are urging companies to slow down while stronger safety standards and oversight are put in place. Trump, however, has dismissed those concerns as a “hoax,” while AI companies remain reluctant to lose ground in the global race. How credible are the warnings coming from the people building these systems? Is the industry willing to put the brakes on its rapid expansion? And what warning signs should users be paying attention to?

Guests: Lili Gangas, Chief Technology Community Officer, Kapor Center, Miami, FL; Tobias Martin, Co-founder, Hispanic AI Safety Institute-HASI, New York, NY —today from Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rafael Olavarria, Research Consultant, Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas-DDIA, Washington, DC.
