The Congressman Who Gets AI Extinction Risk— Rep. Bill Foster on the Future of Humanity | For Humanity | Ep. 7506 Dec 202501:10:02

In this episode of For Humanity, John Sherman sits down with Congressman Bill Foster — the only PhD scientist in Congress, a former Fermilab physicist, and one of the few lawmakers deeply engaged with advanced AI risks. Together, they dive into a wide-ranging conversation about the accelerating capabilities of AI, the systemic vulnerabilities inside Congress, and why the next few years may determine the fate of our species.

Foster unpacks why AI risk mirrors nuclear risk in scale, how interpretability is collapsing as models evolve, why Congress is structurally incapable of responding fast enough, and how geopolitical pressures distort every conversation on safety. They also explore the looming financial bubble around AI, the coming energy crunch from massive data centers, and the emerging threat of anonymous encrypted compute — a pathway that could enable rogue actors or rogue AIs to operate undetected.

If you want a deeper understanding of how AI intersects with power, geopolitics, compute, regulation, and existential risk, this conversation is essential.

Together, they explore:

* • The real risks emerging from today’s AI systems — and what’s coming next

* Why Congress is unprepared for AGI-level threats

* How compute verification could become humanity’s safety net

* Why data centers may reshape energy, economics, and local politics

* How scientific literacy in government could redefine AI governance

AI Risk, Superintelligence & The Fight Ahead — A Deep Dive with Liv Boeree | For Humanity #7422 Nov 202501:17:34

In this episode of For Humanity, John sits down with Liv Boeree — poker champion, systems thinker, and longtime AI risk advocate — for a candid conversation about where we truly stand in the race toward advanced AI. Liv breaks down why public understanding of superintelligence is so uneven, how misaligned incentives shape the entire ecosystem, and why issues like surveillance, culture, and gender dynamics matter more than people realize.

They explore the emotional realities of working on existential risk, the impact of doomscrolling, and how mindset and intuition keep people grounded in such turbulent times. The result is a clear, grounded, and surprisingly hopeful look at the future of technology, power, and responsibility. If you’re passionate about understanding AI’s real impacts (today and tomorrow), this is a must-watch.

Together, they explore:

* The real risks we face from AI — today and in the coming years

* Why public understanding of superintelligence is so fractured

* How incentives, competition, and culture misalign technology with human flourishing

* What poker teaches us about deception, risk, and reading motives

* The role of women, intuition, and “mama bear energy” in the AI safety movement

"Team Save Us vs Team Kill Us" For Humanity, An AI Safety Podcast Episode #6: The Munk Debate06 Dec 202300:43:39

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.

Justice For Suchir | Episode #63 | For Humanity: An AI Risk Podcast11 Apr 202501:19:43

In an emotional interview, host John Sherman interviews Poornima Rao and Balaji Ramamurthy, the parents of Suchir Balaji. (FULL INTERVIEW STARTS AT 00:18:38)Suchir Balaji was a 26-year-old artificial intelligence researcher who worked at OpenAI. He was involved in developing models like GPT-4 and WebGPT. In October 2024, he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright laws by using proprietary data to train AI models, arguing that such practices harmed original content creators. His essay, "When does generative AI qualify for fair use?", gained attention and was cited in ongoing lawsuits against OpenAI. Suchir left OpenAI in August 2024, expressing concerns about the company's ethics and the potential harm of AI to humanity. He planned to start a nonprofit focused on machine learning and neuroscience. On October 23, 2024 he was featured in the New York Times speaking out against OpenAI.On November 26, 2024, he was found dead in his San Francisco apartment from a gunshot wound. The initial autopsy ruled it a suicide, noting the presence of alcohol, amphetamines, and GHB in his system. However, his parents contested this finding, commissioning a second autopsy that suggested a second gunshot wound was missed in the initial examination. They also pointed to other injuries and questioned the presence of GHB, suggesting foul play. Despite these claims, authorities reaffirmed the suicide ruling. The case has attracted public attention, with figures like Elon Musk and Congressman Ro Khanna calling for further investigation.Suchir’s parents continue to push for justice and truth.Suchir’s Website:https://suchir.net/fair_use.htmlFOR HUMANITY MONTHLY DONATION SUBSCRIPTION LINKS:$1 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3cje3x2Zk9SodQT$10 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/5kAbIP9Nh0Rc4y46oo$25 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/3cs9AHf7B9nIggM4gh$100 MONTH https://buy.stripe.com/aEU007bVp7fAfcI5kmLethal Intelligence AI - Home https://lethalintelligence.aiBUY LOUIS BERMAN’S NEW BOOK ON AMAZON!!!https://a.co/d/8WSNNuoGet Involved!EMAIL JOHN: forhumanitypodcast@gmail.comSUPPORT PAUSE AI: https://pauseai.info/SUPPORT STOP AI: https://www.stopai.info/SUBSCRIBE TO LIRON SHAPIRA’S DOOM DEBATES on YOUTUBE! / @doomdebates

Keep The Future Human | Episode #62 | For Humanity: An AI Risk Podcast26 Mar 202501:47:13

Host John Sherman conducts an important interview with Anthony Aguirre, Executive Director of the Future of Life Institute. The Future of Life Institute reached out to For Humanity to see if Anthony could come on to promote his very impressive new campaign called Keep The Future Human. The campaign includes a book, an essay, a website, a video, it’s all incredible work. Please check it out:


https://keepthefuturehuman.ai/

John and Anthony have a broad ranging AI risk conversation, covering in some detail Anthony’s four essential measures for a human future. They also discuss parenting into this unknown future.


In 2021, the Future of Life Institute received a donation in cryptocurrency of more than $650 million from a single donor. With AGI doom bearing down on humanity, arriving any day now, AI risk communications floundering, the public in the dark still, and that massive war chest gathering dust in a bank, John asks Anthony the uncomfortable but necessary question: What is FLI waiting for to spend the money? 


Then John asks Anthony for $10 million to fund creative media projects under John’s direction. John is convinced with $10M in six months he could succeed in making AI existential risk dinner table conversation on every street in America.


John has developed a detailed plan that would launch within 24 hours of the grant award. We don’t have a single day to lose.

AI Safety on the Frontlines | For Humanity #7308 Nov 202500:55:44

In this episode of For Humanity, host John Sherman speaks with Esben Kran, one of the leading figures in the for-profit AI safety movement, joining live from Ukraine — where he’s exploring the intersection of AI safety, autonomous drones, and the defense tech boom.

🔎 They discuss:

* The rise of for-profit AI safety startups and why technology must lead regulation.

* How Ukraine’s drone industry became the frontline of autonomous warfare.

* What happens when AI gains control — and how we might still shut it down.

* The chilling concept of a global “AI kill chain” and what humanity must do now.

Esben also shares insights from companies like Lucid Computing and Workshop Labs, the growing global coordination challenges, and why the next AI safety breakthroughs may not come from labs in Berkeley — but from battlefields and builders abroad.

🔗 Subscribe for more conversations about AI risk, ethics, and the fight to build a safe future for humanity.

Episode #47: “Can AI Be Controlled?“ For Humanity: An AI Risk Podcas25 Sep 202401:19:40

In Episode #47, host John Sherman talks with Buck Shlegeris, CEO of Redwood Research, a non-profit company working on technical AI risk challenges. The discussion includes Buck’s thoughts on the new OpenAI o1-preview model, but centers on two questions: is there a way to control AI models before alignment is achieved if it can be, and how would the system that’s supposed to save the world actually work if an AI lab found a model scheming. Check out these links to Buck’s writing on these topics below:

Episode #47 Trailer : “Can AI Be Controlled?“ For Humanity: An AI Risk Podcast25 Sep 202400:04:36

In Episode #47 Trailer, host John Sherman talks with Buck Shlegeris, CEO of Redwood Research, a non-profit company working on technical AI risk challenges. The discussion includes Buck’s thoughts on the new OpenAI o1-preview model, but centers on two questions: is there a way to control AI models before alignment is achieved if it can be, and how would the system that’s supposed to save the world actually work if an AI lab found a model scheming. Check out these links to Buck’s writing on these topics below:

Stuart Russell: “AI CEO Told Me Chernobyl-Level AI Event Might Be Our Only Hope” | For Humanity #7225 Oct 202501:32:47

Let’s face it: in the long run, there’s either going to be safe AI or no AI. There is no future with powerful unsafe AI and human beings. In this episode of For Humanity, John Sherman speaks with Professor Stuart Russell — one of the world’s foremost AI pioneers and co-author of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach — about the terrifying honesty of today’s AI leaders.

Russell reveals that the CEO of a major AI company told him his best hope for a good future is a “Chernobyl-scale AI disaster.” Yes — one of the people building advanced AI believes only a catastrophic warning shot could wake up the world in time. John and Stuart dive deep into the psychology, politics, and incentives driving this suicidal race toward AGI.

They discuss:

* Why even AI insiders are losing faith in control

* What a “Chernobyl moment” could actually look like

* Why regulation isn’t anti-innovation — it’s survival

* The myth that America is “allergic” to AI rules

* How liability, accountability, and provable safety could still save us

* Whether we can ever truly coexist with a superintelligence

This is one of the most urgent conversations ever hosted on For Humanity. If you care about your kids’ future — or humanity’s — don’t miss this one.

🎙️ About For Humanity A podcast from the AI Risk Network, hosted by John Sherman, making AI extinction risk kitchen-table conversation on every street.

The RAISE Act: Regulating Frontier AI | For Humanity | EP 7111 Oct 202501:04:28

In this episode of For Humanity, John speaks with New York Assemblymember Alex Bores, sponsor of the groundbreaking RAISE Act, one of the first state-level bills in the U.S. designed to regulate frontier AI systems.

They discuss:

* Why AI poses an existential risk, with researchers estimating up to a 10% chance of extinction.

* The political challenges of passing meaningful AI regulation at the state and federal level.

* How the RAISE Act could require safety plans, transparency, and limits on catastrophic risks.

* The looming jobs crisis as AI accelerates disruption across industries.

* Why politicians are only beginning to grapple with AI’s dangers — and why the public must speak up now.

This is a candid, urgent conversation about AI risk, regulation, and what it will take to secure humanity’s future.
