The True AI Threat is People
H
23:28Hamza ChaudryGUEST
The system, you know, sort of intuits that, well, if there's a 10% chance of taking out an enemy combatant and you kill 1,000 people, you're still getting a lot of bang for your buck.

Instead of crashing stock markets, a cartel of bots could take up meteorology.
H
36:38Hamza ChaudryGUEST
Just on the weather forecasting side, the amount of uplift that AI can give to those models is nuts, and it's amazing, and people should do more about that.
H
36:46Hamza ChaudryGUEST
So everyone who works in this space is a big AI fan, and I feel like that's not said enough.
We Design the AI That Kills Us All
H
30:13Hamza ChaudryGUEST
We get the companies to agree to regimented system of oversight that's mandatory, which is currently not true.
H
30:22Hamza ChaudryGUEST
So if you want the companies to give over their models to the government so they can test them for various use cases for an extended duration of time to make sure that before they put them out in the wild, there's been some safety testing.
B
31:22Ben BradfordHOST
My final question for you on this is just your level of hope and also your level of anger.
H
31:30Hamza ChaudryGUEST
Um, I, I, I have to say, like, I am angry that the companies have been able to get away with both acting as responsible arbiters of AI development and also completely evading any regulation [laughs] or oversight.
