In this special weekend edition of the 'AI in Business' podcast's AI Futures series, Emerj CEO and Head of Research Daniel Faggella speaks with Stuart Russell, Distinguished Professor of Computational Precision Health and Computer Science at the University of California and President of the International Association for Safe & Ethical AI. Widely considered one of the earliest voices warning about the uncontrollability of advanced AI systems, Russell discusses the urgent challenges posed by AGI development, the incentives driving companies into a dangerous race dynamic, and what forms of international governance may be necessary to prevent catastrophic risks. Their conversation ranges from technical safety approaches to potential international treaty models, the role of culture and media in shaping public awareness, and the possible benefits of getting AI governance right. This episode was originally published on Daniel's 'The Trajectory' podcast, which focuses exclusively on long-term AI futures. Want to share your AI adoption story with executive peers?
