The world is waking up to the existential danger of unaligned AGI. But we are racing against time. Some heroes are stepping up, people like this week’s guest Chris Gerrby. Chris was successful in organizing people against AI in Sweden. In early May he left Sweden, moved to  England, and is now spending 14 hours a day 7 days a week to stop AGI. Learn how he plans to grow Pause AI as its new Chief Growth Officer and his thoughts on how to make the case for pausing AI.

This podcast is not journalism. But it’s not opinion either. This is a long form public service announcement. This show simply strings together the existing facts and underscores the unthinkable probable outcome, the end of all life on earth. 

For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast, is the accessible AI Safety Podcast for all humans, no tech background required. Our show focuses solely on the threat of human extinction from AI.

Peabody Award-winning former journalist John Sherman explores the shocking worst-case scenario of artificial intelligence: human extinction. The makers of AI openly admit it their work could kill all humans, in as soon as 2 years. This podcast is solely about the threat of human extinction from AGI. We’ll meet the heroes and villains, explore the issues and ideas, and what you can do to help save humanity.
