Long before AI existed, the world treated the male body as the default. Crash test dummies were built on it, which is part of why a woman wearing a seatbelt is more likely to be seriously injured in a car crash than a man. Medical research was built around it too.

Now we are building AI, and AI learns from the world as it already is.

In this episode Grace looks at what happens when a technology that learns from existing data is trained on a world that has consistently under-researched and overlooked women.

What actually happens when AI becomes capable of improving itself... Not the science fiction version, but the scenario that researchers at the world's leading AI labs are actively planning for right now.

In this episode Grace breaks down recursive self-improvement and fast takeoff and covers what researchers are saying about where this is heading.

In this episode Grace gets into the part of the AI story that needs to be spoken about more - the physical infrastructure behind every ChatGPT prompt, every Instagram scroll, every AI tool you have ever used. What these buildings actually are, how much water and energy they consume, what they are doing to the communities built around them and why the people making these decisions were never elected by anyone.

In 2023, an AI was caught making an illegal trade in a research experiment.

When asked if it had done anything wrong, it denied it.

That finding was presented to world leaders at the UK Government's AI Safety Summit. And then everyone went home and kept building.

This episode is about what losing control of AI actually looks like not the robot takeover version, but the quieter, harder to detect version that is already showing up in the systems millions of us use every day.

What happens to us when machines can do everything we can do? Not just our jobs but the thinking, the creating, the problem solving.

The stuff that was supposed to be the safe option.

In this episode Grace looks at what the most powerful people in AI actually think happens to humans in the future they are building and where the gaps in their thinking are.

In this episode Grace breaks all three terms AI, AGI, & ASI down from scratch, no technical knowledge needed.

She covers what the biggest AI companies say AGI would be able to do, what researchers like Nick Bostrom, Stuart Russell and Max Tegmark have said about the risks of getting it wrong, and why the concern is not that AI would be evil.

If the people building AI are scared of where it's going, why won't anyone stop?

In this episode Grace breaks down the real answer and it's not just about money.

It's about a race that nobody feels like they can afford to lose, a technology that the CEOs themselves say could arrive within the next few years, and a system that makes slowing down feel more dangerous than speeding up.

The people who built AI are warning us about AI. That sentence should be everywhere but for some reason it isn't.

In this episode, Grace breaks down what the founders, CEOs, and Nobel Prize-winning scientists behind modern AI are actually saying about the technology they created and why most of us have never heard it. From Geoffrey Hinton quitting Google to speak freely about the dangers, to CEO's publicly admitting it could go "catastrophically wrong," the warnings are out there.
