And this was - and I hope I don't offend any of my other guests by saying - one of the most fascinating conversations I've ever had on the podcast.Today, we are at a point when there's a realistic chance that in the next decade or so we might get an AGI - artificial general intelligence or even ASI - artificial superintelligence: a next stage of AI that would be able to do everything that humans can and possibly even significantly better. If that happens it will radically transform every aspect of our lives but while the impact on other areas is widely discussed - how it might reshape geopolitics is largely ignored - even though its impact would be absolutely transformational. Greg and his colleagues at Rand recently published an extremely interesting paper where they for the first time try to explore what that might look like - and they present 8 different scenarios of how AGI can transform the global world order. Most of them are pretty bad but all of them are fascinating - leading to a rise of new superpowers, fall of the old ones and a fundamentally different world. And in this conversation, we discuss what that world might look like.

The consensus among AI savants is that 2027 will be a key year -- a year in which AI achieves some degree of "sentience": It won't want to be shut down, for example. The HAL scenario, in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" is coming. But Jeffrey Cole, director of the USC Annenberg Center for the Digital Future, is mostly "positive," about the fast march of AI. He speaks with Host Llewellyn King and Co-host Adam Clayton Powell III.

Deep dive with Dan Hendrycks, a leading AI safety researcher and co-author of the "Superintelligence Strategy" paper with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang.*** SPONSOR MESSAGESGemini CLI is an open-source AI agent that brings the power of Gemini directly into your terminal - https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cliProlific: Quality data. From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://prolific.com/mlst?utm_campaign=98404559-MLST&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=script-gen***Hendrycks argues that society is making a fundamental mistake in how it views artificial intelligence. We often compare AI to transformative but ultimately manageable technologies like electricity or the internet. He contends a far better and more realistic analogy is nuclear technology. Like nuclear power, AI has the potential for immense good, but it is also a dual-use technology that carries the risk of unprecedented catastrophe.The Problem with an AI "Manhattan Project":A popular idea is for the U.S. to launch a "Manhattan Project" for AI—a secret, all-out government race to build a superintelligence before rivals like China. Hendrycks argues this strategy is deeply flawed and dangerous for several reasons:- It wouldn't be secret. You cannot hide a massive, heat-generating data center from satellite surveillance.- It would be destabilizing. A public race would alarm rivals, causing them to start their own desperate, corner-cutting projects, dramatically increasing global risk.- It's vulnerable to sabotage. An AI project can be crippled in many ways, from cyberattacks that poison its training data to physical attacks on its power plants. This is what the paper refers to as a "maiming attack."This vulnerability leads to the paper's central concept: Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM). This is the AI-era version of the nuclear-era's Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). In this dynamic, any nation that makes an aggressive, destabilizing bid for a world-dominating AI must expect its rivals to sabotage the project to ensure their own survival. This deterrence, Hendrycks argues, is already the default reality we live in.A Better Strategy: The Three PillarsInstead of a reckless race, the paper proposes a more stable, three-part strategy modeled on Cold War principles:- Deterrence: Acknowledge the reality of MAIM. The goal should not be to "win" the race to superintelligence, but to deter anyone from starting such a race in the first place through the credible threat of sabotage.- Nonproliferation: Just as we work to keep fissile materials for nuclear bombs out of the hands of terrorists and rogue states, we must control the key inputs for catastrophic AI. The most critical input is advanced AI chips (GPUs). Hendrycks makes the powerful claim that building cutting-edge GPUs is now more difficult than enriching uranium, making this strategy viable.- Competitiveness: The race between nations like the U.S. and China should not be about who builds superintelligence first. Instead, it should be about who can best use existing AI to build a stronger economy, a more effective military, and more resilient supply chains (for example, by manufacturing more chips domestically).Dan says the stakes are high if we fail to manage this transition:- Erosion of Control- Intelligence Recursion- Worthless LaborHendrycks maintains that while the risks are existential, the future is not set.

By David Stephen An indicator of superintelligence, for AI, would be the solution to a major scientific problem. To achieve this, what may be necessary would be scientific data, a new memory architecture, and extensive math models. Already, large language models [LLMs] can answer several scientific questions. But they remain limited in theorizing fundamentals answers. How does AI get there? This can become a trajectory for general intelligence from niche, transcendent intelligence. Take the brain as an example, to explain a mental state, say of an emotion or a feeling, how would AI be able to say something absolutely original and quite accurate? Also, arriving at this capability, how will alignment be maximized to ensure safety against misuse? How close are we to AI Superintelligence? Storage Layering The first step towards a mini-superintelligence, for science, or specifically brain science, is storage. Data will not be stored with the current memory architecture. There will be an absolutely new model for data storage that collects patterns at the store. In mechanistic interpretability, concepts [with relationships] are often adjacent. It will be necessary to have a similar model for memory. This would be like having a hard drive partition for just neurons. Though, the form of storage would be much different because of [say] specifications [with data] solely for neurons. So, everything [established in empirical brain science] about neurons will be a store. Then electrical signals as a store as well, then chemical signals as a store. Another store would be neurons in clusters - nuclei and ganglia. Then electrical and chemical signals as a collection. While there would be different architectural explorations for these storages, the target would be to store data like the human brain. The human brain, it is conceptualized, has thick sets [of electrical and chemical signals]. A thick set collects whatever is common between two or more thin sets. So, door is a thick set representing all doors, so is fence and so forth. There are unique elements that may remain thin sets, but most interpretations use thick sets. It is what makes it easier for the brain to store much more for less space [and energy] than computers. There are rarely repetitions, so access is faster, learning requires new fewer examples and so forth. Therefore, the partitioning or specificity of storage would provide an opportunity to directly mimic human memory. The next step will be to layer those storages. Such that, instead of say sectors on a disk, they are like layers, for patterns to match what is common in the binary data. The objective is to ensure that storage is prepared for intelligence. Not just to have intelligence use repetitive memory, like what is obtainable at present. For example, the text 'door' is stored differently from the image or the video. Also, there are all kinds of videos, image types and so forth. Then there are several information about doors, as well. In the brain, door is a thick set, containing the text, images, videos, physical structure and so forth. In this new memory architecture for computing, whatever is common in the binary segments of door would be collected. So, instead of storing it alone, it is stored together and accessed in that collective form, as layers, so that creativity meshes are probable. For this new memory for superintelligence, after storing specific data and collecting binary commonalities, then layers would be added, so that more binary segments would be collected. The technical details and likelihood of these can be explicated and estimated. However, to really have superintelligence that can be original enough beyond prediction, or basic reasoning, it may not begin with deep learning but with a new storage architecture. Mathematical Models Existing math models in deep learning would accelerate progress further, given new storage layers. Since patterns would already be available from the source, there can be...

This week's episode recaps Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's personal superintelligence memo, the reported price Amazon is paying to license The New York Times's content and a check-in on the TV and streaming advertising upfront as negotiations wrap up. Then (18:51), Digiday senior media reporter Sara Guaglione and executive editor of news Seb Joseph join the show to share their reporting on a recent meeting between IAB Tech Lab, more than 80 publishers and AI giants including Google and Meta to discuss how publishers can respond to AI companies scraping their sites.

In this technical deep dive, Generation AI explores the evolution from prompt engineering to context engineering - a critical shift in how we build intelligent AI systems. Hosts Ardis Kadiu and Petar Djordjevic from Element451 break down why static prompts are no longer enough and how dynamic context management is the key to creating truly smart agents. They explain the technical architecture behind retrieval augmented generation (RAG), discuss the challenges of building multi-agent systems that coordinate effectively, and reveal how Element451's new bulk jobs feature represents the cutting edge of context engineering in higher education. The episode concludes with an analysis of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for "personal superintelligence" - always-on AI assistants that remember everything about you. This matters because institutions need to understand that the success of AI agents depends entirely on having rich, well-structured data and proper context management - not just smart models.Introduction and the Shift from Prompt to Context Engineering (00:00:00)Welcome back Petar Djordjevic as co-host for the third timeThe transformation from static prompt libraries to dynamic context systemsWhy GPT-4's evolution to reasoning models changed everythingHow agents use tools to gather real-time information instead of relying on frozen knowledgeDefining Context Engineering vs Prompt Engineering (00:04:11)Context engineering as managing dynamic information for AI tasksThe evolution from one-shot prompt problems to complex agent workflowsHow automation requirements drove the need for context engineeringWhy "it's their first day on the job every day" for AI modelsDeep Dive into RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) (00:17:17)The complete RAG pipeline: from user query to accurate responseBreaking down queries into multiple intents for better resultsVector databases and metadata attachment for information storageThe importance of combining keyword search with semantic searchAdvanced RAG Techniques and Challenges (00:21:08)Data preparation: parsing PDFs and extracting meaningful chunksWhy semantic search alone isn't enough - the CS101 problemRe-ranking and post-processing to get the most relevant resultsHow to handle citations and build user trust in AI responsesBuilding Complex Agent Systems at Element451 (00:33:08)Element451's new Bulk Jobs feature as a case studyThe research phase: gathering student data, interaction history, and contextWhy data-rich platforms are essential for successful agentsMoving from segment-based personalization to true "segment of one"Context Pruning and Tool Selection (00:41:31)Why you can't just throw all data into the context windowPerformance degradation with large contexts - the needle in haystack problemSelecting the right tools for each task (SMS vs WhatsApp example)How to compress and adapt content for optimal performanceMulti-Agent Coordination and State Management (00:46:48)The challenge of multiple agents working on the same studentContext writing: how agents remember what they did and whyPreventing redundant actions across different departmentsBuilding systems that coordinate like experienced teamsCommon Mistakes in Context Engineering (00:50:17)The danger of being "lazy about context" and assuming AI is smart enoughWhy domain expertise is crucial for building effective agentsThe importance of vertical-specific agents (Cursor, Harvey, Sierra examples)How Element451 leverages its CRM data for education-specific agentsThe Future: Personal Superintelligence (00:53:18)Mark Zuckerberg's vision of always-on, memory-rich personal AIMeta's glasses as the computing platform of the futureAndrej Karpathy's small model with massive context approachChallenges: ambient monitoring, recall/summary, lifelong memory files - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

OpenAI's GPT-5 is coming soon and it is…good?. Mystery models have been testing on various platforms that may show us the future of OpenAI's newest AI & the future of the space. Sam Altman's company has been ramping up the hype machine entering next week when most expect GPT-5's release (as well as a new possible Google model). Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg is talking up Meta's personal Super Intelligence plans. Also, Runway's Aleph & Ideogram's Character mode give us more AI video tools while new emergent behavior lets you prompt Google's VEO 3 in amazing ways. And a very *spooky* new Robot Watch where we foreshadow our impending doom!

Moonshots and Mindsets with Peter Diamandis ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  We will have artificial superintelligence by 2035: “Superintelligence” implies intelligence that is beyond the sum of what humans can do  As important as nuclear fusion and fission may be for the future, they will not arrive soon enough to meet the immediate surge in global power demand driven by AI and data infrastructureLearning machines accelerate to their natural limit, and the current limit of AI systems is electricityGreater energy infrastructure is essential to support the intellectual capacity required for a superintelligent abundanceWe will have specialized savants in every field, within five years; the real question is, once we have all these savants, do they unify? Do they ultimately become superhuman? The emergence of superintelligence comes with huge proliferation issues: Competitive issues, China vs. the US issues, electricity issues; we do not even have the language for the deterrence and proliferation aspects of these powerful models  The “Mutually Assured AI Malfunction” geopolitical competition framework: If one nation races ahead to develop superintelligent AI, rivals may sabotage their progress (through cyberattacks or strikes) to avoid destabilizing power imbalancesWhatever enables faster learning loops is the business moat of the future “The real risk is not Terminator, it's drift. AI won't destroy humans violently, but might slowly erode human values, autonomy, and judgment if left unregulated or misunderstood.”  – Eric Schmidt The tools change, but the structure of humanity will not When superintelligence emerges, every person will have the sum of Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci in their pocket; how humans choose to use their polymath is the question “We don't know what artificial general intelligence will deliver, and we don't know what artificial super intelligence will deliver, but we know it's coming.” – Eric Schmidt Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGet access to metatrends 10+ years before anyone else - https://qr.diamandis.com/metatrends   Eric Schmidt is the former CEO of Google.  Dave Blundin is the founder of Link Ventures – Offers for my audience:  Test what's going on inside your body at https://qr.diamandis.com/fountainlifepodcast   Reverse the age of my skin using the same cream at https://qr.diamandis.com/oneskinpod     –- Connect with Eric:  X: https://x.com/ericschmidt  His latest book: https://a.co/d/fCxDy8P   Learn about Dave's fund: https://www.linkventures.com/xpv-fund   Connect with Peter: X Instagram Listen to MOONSHOTS: Apple YouTube – *Recorded on June 5th, 2025 *Views are my own thoughts; not Financial, Medical, or Legal Advice.

In 2023, researcher Daniel Kokotajlo left OpenAI—and risked millions in stock options—to warn the world about the dangerous direction of AI development. Now he's out with AI 2027, a forecast of where that direction might take us in the very near future. AI 2027 predicts a world where humans lose control over our destiny at the hands of misaligned, super-intelligent AI systems within just the next few years. That may sound like science fiction but when you're living on the upward slope of an exponential curve, science fiction can quickly become all too real. And you don't have to agree with Daniel's specific forecast to recognize that the incentives around AI could take us to a very bad place.We invited Daniel on the show this week to discuss those incentives, how they shape the outcomes he predicts in AI 2027, and what concrete steps we can take today to help prevent those outcomes.  Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on X: @HumaneTech_. You can find a full transcript, key takeaways, and much more on our Substack.RECOMMENDED MEDIAThe AI 2027 forecast from the AI Futures ProjectDaniel's original AI 2026 blog post Further reading on Daniel's departure from OpenAIAnthropic recently released a survey of all the recent emergent misalignment researchOur statement in support of Sen.

Superintelligence, at least in an academic sense, has already been achieved. But Misha Laskin thinks that the next step towards artificial superintelligence, or ASI, should look both more user and problem-focused. ReflectionAI co-founder and CEO Misha Laskin joins Sarah Guo to introduce Asimov, their new code comprehension agent built on reinforcement learning (RL). Misha talks about creating tools and designing AI agents based on customer needs, and how that influences eval development and the scope of the agent's memory. The two also discuss the challenges in solving scaling for RL, the future of ASI, and the implications for Google's “non-acquisition” of Windsurf.  Sign up for new podcasts every week.

What if your company had a digital brain that never forgot, always knew the answer, and could instantly tap the knowledge of your best engineers, even after they left? Superintelligence can feel like a hand‑wavy pipe‑dream— yet, as Misha Laskin argues, it becomes a tractable engineering problem once you scope it to the enterprise level. Former DeepMind researcher Laskin is betting on an oracle‑like AI that grasps every repo, Jira ticket and hallway aside as deeply as your principal engineer—and he's building it at Reflection AI.In this wide‑ranging conversation, Misha explains why coding is the fastest on‑ramp to superintelligence, how “organizational” beats “general” when real work is on the line, and why today's retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) feels like “exploring a jungle with a flashlight.” He walks us through Asimov, Reflection's newly unveiled code‑research agent that fuses long‑context search, team‑wide memory and multi‑agent planning so developers spend less time spelunking for context and more time shipping.We also rewind his unlikely journey—from physics prodigy in a Manhattan‑Project desert town, to Berkeley's AI crucible, to leading RLHF for Google Gemini—before he left big‑lab comfort to chase a sharper vision of enterprise super‑intelligence. Along the way: the four breakthroughs that unlocked modern AI, why capital efficiency still matters in the GPU arms‑race, and how small teams can lure top talent away from nine‑figure offers.If you're curious about the next phase of AI agents, the future of developer tooling, or the gritty realities of scaling a frontier‑level startup—this episode is your blueprint.Reflection AIWebsite - https://reflection.aiLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/reflectionaiMisha LaskinLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mishalaskinX/Twitter - https://x.com/mishalaskinFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:42) Reflection AI: Company Origins and Mission (04:14) Making Superintelligence Concrete (06:04) Superintelligence vs. AGI: Why the Goalposts Moved (07:55) Organizational Superintelligence as an Oracle (12:05) Coding as the Shortcut: Hands, Legs & Brain for AI (16:00) Building the Context Engine (20:55) Capturing Tribal Knowledge in Organizations (26:31) Introducing Asimov: A Deep Code Research Agent (28:44) Team-Wide Memory: Preserving Institutional Knowledge (33:07) Multi-Agent Design for Deep Code Understanding (34:48) Data Retrieval and Integration in Asimov (38:13) Enterprise-Ready: VPC and On-Prem Deployments (39:41) Reinforcement Learning in Asimov's Development (41:04) Misha's Journey: From Physics to AI (42:06) Growing Up in a Science-Driven Desert Town (53:03) Building General Agents at DeepMind (56:57) Founding Reflection AI After DeepMind (58:54) Product-Driven Superintelligence: Why It Matters (01:02:22) The State of Autonomous Coding Agents (01:04:26) What's Next for Reflection AI
