Life 3.0

But first, before we dive in, I think it's really important for us to understand the possibilities with AI, so hopefully, if anything, when you come away from this episode, you'll have a little bit more of a grasp and clarity of what the future holds or what the deck could look like.

You could check out an episode I did on this very thing, Max's book, Life 3.0, where from today, right now, in September of 2026, no matter what happens, one of these 12 items here on screen is our future.

To give Max some credibility, he is one of the top AI people when it comes to AI safety.

Three years ago, he wrote the letter asking all major presidents, prime ministers of the world to put a safety halt on AI.

Uh, does that finish it? Yep.

This, that finishes it.

The other takeaway is heavily covered in Max Tegmark's book about Life 3.0, which of the 12 futures we'll get, is who's in control of the AI.

And I mean, even if you were the best AI keeper...

I want to bring in our expert tonight, Max Tegmark is a physics professor focusing on AI at MIT, founder of the Future of Life Institute.

He spoke about AI as part of those UN gatherings just last week, and he wrote Life 3.0, Being Human in the Age of AI.

Welcome.

Thank you.

So Max created a framework.

He's got a book called Life 3.0.

This is every possible scenario of our future with AI.

So you are literally looking at, no matter what happens from day one right now, one of these 12 is our future with AI.

Do not let the government get involved in trying to regulate this.

Uh, there's a couple of really good books out there if you wanna read 'em, uh, Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom and, um, Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark, that, uh, talk about these subjects.

So I, you know, just m- my basic thing, just to chime in, is don't let, uh, China run away with this.

Don't let the US government try and slow this down.

I think that's what it was.

That long ago? Life 3.0.

Wow.

Say

I read that book.

It's really, I think it's Being Human in the Age of AI.

I think of Life 3.0 or something like that.

I love that book.
