As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, the question is no longer if it will go rogue—but whether we’ll be able to stop it if it does.

In this episode, we explore the urgent global conversation around AI safety, from failed experiments like Microsoft’s Tay to the strategic brilliance of DeepMind’s AlphaStar. These real-world cases reveal how easily AI can slip beyond human control—and why building safe, ethical AI is no longer optional.

We break down key efforts to prevent disaster before it strikes:

• 🧠 Formal Verification: Can we mathematically prove an AI will behave?

• 🔍 Explainable AI (XAI): Why transparency matters more than ever

• 🌱 Living Intelligence: The frontier of adaptive, self-aware systems—and what it means for the future of control

Whether you’re a researcher, futurist, developer, or simply curious about where AI is headed, this episode offers a compelling, grounded look at how innovators are working to keep AI aligned, accountable, and human-centered.
