🖖 Vulcan salute from the second episode of Explain the Explainables! Today, we’re taking a deep dive into Mustafa Suleyman’s The Coming Wave, a book that challenges us to think about how rapid advancements in AI and biotechnology are reshaping our world. We’ll explore why it’s becoming harder to explain how these systems work, the risks of their unchecked growth, and what practical steps we can take to ensure that technology remains a force for good.

In this episode, we break down key topics like the “black box” problem in AI, the need for robust safety measures, and the importance of clear, coordinated policies—from technical safety initiatives to international treaties. We’ll also chat about the human side of this revolution: why public understanding and movements are essential to keeping these powerful technologies in check.

Whether you’re a tech leader, a policymaker, or just curious about what the future holds, this podcast offers an engaging and accessible roadmap for riding this incredible, sometimes daunting, wave of innovation. So, sit back, relax, and join us as we explore how we can shape a safe and exciting future together. ☕
