SURPRISE Global Threat EMERGES, BUCKLE UP | PoliticsGirl

Nov 28, 2023 The PoliticsGirl Podcast
As computers get smarter, who do we want regulating them? Who do we want programming them and, ultimately, who do we want leading our country and military response when AI is in the mix? If we get this wrong, how we feel about things like taxes, religion and racism will be the least of our problems. To have this essential conversation, I’m joined today by Ross Andersen. Ross is a staff writer at The Atlantic, where he covers science, technology, and culture. I’m having him on to discuss his article called “Never Give Artificial Intelligence the Nuclear Codes". This is big deal stuff and something we have to consider not only as citizens of our world, but also as citizens of a powerful nuclear superpower going into an election year. This is kind of a scary episode, but it’s also an incredibly important, and one I think is really worth your time.
