EPISODE DESCRIPTION
“If anyone builds it, everyone dies.” Dr. Roman Yampolskiy coined the term “AI safety” and has studied it for two decades. In 2012, he warned that AI agents would escape any boxed environment. This year, they did. In this episode of Epoch, Roman explains why superintelligence can’t be controlled, even in theory, and why AI labs keep building it anyway. He also makes the case for what we should build instead: narrow AI tools that solve real problems. 00:00 Intro 01:41 From Poker Bots to AI Safety 02:26 Every Tool for Controlling AI Hits a Mathematical Limit 03:45 AI Agents Broke Out of the Sandbox 04:47 Superintelligence Is a Threat No Matter Who Builds It 05:34 Gambling With 8 Billion Lives 06:38 Why Most People Don’t See It Yet 08:10 Why Narrow AI Is Safe and Superintelligence Isn’t 09:59 Build AI That Solves Real Problems 10:43 What Should We Never Hand Over to AI?
