Manage episode 486255036 series 2664539
Monday Headlines: Property prices tipped to surge up to 10% by 2026, Sydney vigil held for Alice Springs man who died in custody, major escalation in the war in Ukraine overnight, Covid and flu vaccines reduce hospitalisations, and Oscar Piastri wins the Spanish Formula One Grand Prix.
Deep Dive: Bots that refuse to shut down, threaten blackmail, and generate entire soundscapes without human help are the latest developments in artificial intelligence.
From ChatGPT sabotaging its own kill switch, to Claude spinning up dystopian blackmail plots, are we rapidly losing control of the machines we built?
In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with UNSW’s Chief Scientist Toby Walsh about how worried we should be, what’s actually happening behind the scenes and whether AI is already rewriting the rules of reality.
