"Team Save Us vs Team Kill Us" For Humanity, An AI Safety Podcast Episode #6: The Munk Debate Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

In Episode #6, Team Save Us vs. Team Kill Us,, host John Sherman weaves together highlights and analysis of The Munk Debate on AI Safety to show the case for and against AI as a human extinction risk.
The debate took place in Toronto in June 2023, and it remains entirely current and relevant today and stands alone as one of the most well-produced, well-argued debates on AI Safety anywhere. All of the issues debated remain unsolved. All of the threats debated only grow in urgency.
In this Munk Debate, you’ll meet two teams: Max Tegmark and Yoshua Bengio on Team Save Us (John’s title not theirs), and Yann Lecun and Melanie Mitchell on Team Kill Us (they’re called pro/con in the debate, Kill v Save is all John). Host John Sherman adds in some current events and colorful analysis (and language) throughout.
This podcast is not journalism. But it’s not opinion either. This show simply strings together the existing facts and underscores the unthinkable probable outcome, the end of all life on earth. Let’s all it facts and analysis.
