Episode 8 features a lively discussion between Chelsea Manning and Ben Goertzel about numerous issues to consider when building, deploying and securing AGI-enabled systems.

 Chelsea and Ben cover a number of timely topics, including:

• AI cryptography. 
• Whether AGIs require consciousness or self-awareness.
• The ethics of making an AGI self-aware.
• The importance of using distributed, decentralized data verification systems to authenticate and verify sources of information.
• What Chelsea feels is the biggest risk facing humanity in the next few years. (Spoiler! It’s climate change.)
• The importance of using democratic, decentralized participatory mechanisms to control AI as it moves from, from narrow AI toward toward AGI.
• AI employment displacement and its implications (and the obvious solution that UBI represents moving forward, highlighting potential obstacles with implementing it in poorer countries.
• Why there might be supply chain interruptions in the future and who wins and who loses in “the supply chain lottery.” 
• AI regulations and Chelsea and Ben’s pragmatic take on what they can and can’t actually achieve.
• The evolution of AI and its ethics.
