Are we building the AI that destroys us? | BBC News

Why it matters

The episode examines warnings about AI risks and the trade-off between accelerating powerful AI development and slowing it before risks become unmanageable. Its description also connects the debate to a film about a divide between OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever, while chapters turn to data centres and controlling superintelligence.

Discuss: Given the episode's tension between rapid AI development and potentially unmanageable risks, what would justify slowing progress?
