Part 2 of our IFD Podcast: Existential Risks Edition – this time AI in Episode 5!

We’re back with part 2 of our Existential Risks Edition! Welcome to the fifth episode of the Intergenerational Fairness Day Podcast– available online now! Our discussion today has got everything: a hostile takeover, technological advancements, power and peril and a few heroes like our next guest trying to warn us about it all. This is "Episode 5: The Future of Intelligence: AI and the Survival of Humanity."

In today's episode, your host Lena Winzer and her guest, founder and director of the Existential Risk Observatory, Otto Barten, are going to break it all down—what AGI actually is, why it could pose such a significant risk, and what's being done to address it. So, buckle up as we separate fact from fiction and explore the existential risks of AI, a topic that could very well determine the fate of humanity.
