AI Haven't A Clue

Awful news for humanity... but great for a weekly AI podcast. AI could kill all humans. So why are the people building it refusing to slow down? A former Anthropic employee has reportedly estimated that there is more than a 10% chance AI could cause human extinction within the next decade . Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei has also warned that AI development is moving too quickly and called for the industry to “pace the frontier”. The shocking part? The biggest names in AI, including Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, broadly agree that AI needs to slow down. But none of them seem willing to hit the brakes.

Could AI be the biggest hype cycle in history? Simon Andrews has been predicting where technology and media are heading since the 1990s. He's the creator of Fix, the weekly newsletter read by thousands of senior figures across tech, advertising, brands and venture capital. In this conversation, Simon gives us his brutally honest take on AI. Will AI actually change our lives? Are tech companies spending too much money? Is the industry becoming another dot-com bubble? And if AI is so intelligent, why does Simon still refuse to let it write his newsletter? We also get into AI girlfriends, human creativity, the future of work, the problem with endless AI subscriptions and why the next generation of AI-powered products could be much more important than ChatGPT itself.

OpenAI's own chief scientist says nobody is ready for what's coming. So... should we be worried? This week, we're chatting humanoid robots, AI university lecturers AND AI inside the NHS, where AI note-taking systems are already being used by doctors, but investigations have found examples of them recording incorrect medical information. We also debate whether AI can actually be creative, after Ben Affleck argued that AI can transform filmmaking but can't make the creative decisions that humans make . Plus: could AI help cure cancer? Are humanoid robots really five years away? And is the UK government's £100m AI fund enough to compete with Silicon Valley? AI promises to change everything. But can we trust it to get the basics right? Contact us at aihaventaclue@gmail.com.

Your AI girlfriend will never reject you. That's exactly the problem. Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Awake Therapy Dr Jourdan Travers joins us to explore what happens when AI starts replacing the difficult parts of human relationships.

But Jourdan argues that rejection, disappointment and discomfort are essential parts of learning how to have relationships . We discuss, why people are forming relationships with AI, the rise of AI girlfriends and why rejection might actually be good for us. Contact us at aihaventaclue@gmail.com.

AI could trigger the next global economic crash. That's from a warning from the Governor of the Bank of England. Could the extraordinary amount of money pouring into AI eventually create a huge market correction, and what that would mean for the rest of us? But that's not the only warning sign. Actors are demanding protection from AI voice cloning. Hollywood is using AI to cut production costs. AI systems are becoming capable of breaking out of controlled environments. And Meta's smart glasses are raising serious questions about privacy. The good news? AI still can't reliably make a pizza. So perhaps we're going to be alright. Contact us at aihaventaclue@gmail.com.

Can AI help lonely people? Can AI companions replace human connection? Are AI companions safe for older people? It sounds dystopian. But for someone who is lonely, awake at 2am and has nobody to call, an AI companion could provide something surprisingly valuable: someone to listen. Grant MacKenzie is the founder of Comfort Companions CIC , a non-profit he created with his dad to provide AI-powered voice conversations for older people experiencing loneliness. After working with Age UK South Gloucestershire , Grant has seen first-hand how long people can wait for human companionship and believes AI can help fill the quiet gaps without replacing human connection. But where do we draw the line? Grant's answer is nuanced: The value isn't necessarily being known. It's being heard. The service has been trialled with Age UK South Gloucestershire , and Grant explains what they've learned about loneliness, human connection and the surprising value of simply having someone, or something, there to listen.

Tilly Norwood isn't real. But she's about to star in a movie. And that has Hollywood seriously divided. We sit down with Sarina Da Costa Gomez , Executive Creative Director at Particle6, the AI-first production studio behind the controversial AI actress, to ask whether Tilly represents the future of entertainment or the beginning of the end for human performers. Sarina believes AI can make bigger, more ambitious creative ideas possible , and explains how traditional film jobs are being transformed rather than simply eliminated, and why Tilly requires a team of around 20 humans to create. BUT if AI makes productions faster and cheaper , what happens to the hundreds of people who used to work on them? And if AI actresses are always beautiful, flawless and impossibly perfect, what does that do to our expectations of real people? Contact us at aihaventaclue.com!
