Greg and Dan talk with Dave Johnson of Pearl Technology about the growing conversation surrounding artificial intelligence and whether it may be time to “put the brakes” on how quickly the technology is advancing. He separates some of the sensationalism surrounding AI from what the technology can and cannot actually do, while explaining the importance of understanding its limitations. He also discusses how developers work to keep AI systems contained and controlled, the concept of AI misalignment and what it means when an AI system’s behavior or goals don’t fully match what humans intended, and why safeguards are increasingly important as the technology becomes more powerful.
