Is AI a threat to humanity?

About this episode

An Anthropic researcher's post on X that there is a 10% chance that AI "could kill all humans" has been viewed more than ten million times. It comes as Jacob Coxon resigns from the company warning that the two top companies are not "acting responsibly." But others say the warnings are overblown. We hear from experts and the public.

We go to the U.S. where Apple is launching a new product, the first foldable iPhone — the first such launch with new CEO John Ternus.

And a food safety crackdown in Mumbai, India's financial capital, has gone viral — with thousands of restaurant raids, and photos of filthy kitchens shared widely online.
