In this episode, Thomas Larsen of the AI Futures Project joins us to dissect the public's reaction to the widely influential paper "AI 2027," which he co-authored, and makes the case that superintelligent AI is highly likely within our lifetimes — and plausibly imminent in the next few years. Thomas also lays out why he’s pessimistic that risks from misaligned and misused AI will be handled in time. This was a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion on the challenges ahead in AI security.
