Want to see the most important issue in human history, extinction from AI, robustly debated, live and in person? It doesn’t happen nearly often enough.

In our Episode #6, Team Save Us vs. Team Kill Us, TRAILER, John Sherman weaves together highlights and analysis of The Munk Debate on AI Safety to show the case for and against AI as a human extinction risk. The debate took place in June 2023, and it remains entirely current and relevant today and stands alone as one of the most well-produced, well-argued debates on AI Safety anywhere. All of the issues debated remain unsolved. All of the threats debated only grow in urgency.

In this Munk Debate, you’ll meet two teams: Max Tegmark and Yoshua Bengio on Team Save Us (John’s title not theirs), and Yann Lecun and Melanie Mitchell on Team Kill Us (they’re called pro/con in the debate, Kill v Save is all John). Host John Sherman adds in some current events and colorful analysis (and language) throughout.

This is not journalism. But it’s not opinion either. This show simply strings together the existing facts and underscores the unthinkable probable outcome, the end of all life on earth. Let’s all it facts and analysis.

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.
