Episode description as stored
What's up, everybody? Today, I am bringing you an absolutely critical episode with Connor Leahy, a leading voice in the world of artificial intelligence safety and the CEO of ControlAI. Connor is a computer scientist who has spent years at the forefront of AI research, grappling with the real and present risks facing humanity as this technology rapidly evolves. He has a bold and, frankly, chilling perspective: pursuing superintelligence could endanger us all. In this episode, Connor breaks down why AI isn't just another tool—it's something fundamentally different, and possibly the biggest adversary we've ever created. We dig into the game theory behind international AI development, why current regulations are falling short, and what would actually have to happen for us to avoid catastrophic risks. If you've ever wondered how close we are to a true point of no return, or what it would actually take to keep the future of humanity in our own hands, this is the episode you cannot afford to miss. I hope you learn as much from this convo as I did—Connor will challenge the way you think about progress, technology, and what it means to be wise in a world racing toward the unknown. If you get value from this, I’d be so grateful if you leave us a review. That’s how we spread the word and help more people unlock their true potential. I'm Tom Bilyeu, and welcome to Impact Theory.
