Is Artificial Intelligence humanity’s last great invention—or just another overhyped tool? In this structured debate episode, we take listeners straight into one of the most heated debates in technology: the possibility of AI as an existential threat.

Listen, as we lay out the stark warnings from the “doomed” camp—think runaway superintelligence and catastrophic risk models, backed by thinkers like Eliezer Yudkowsky and reports such as AI 2027. But we don't stop there. The counter-voices are just as loud: experts who argue that doomsday predictions collapse under the weight of practical realities like regulation, economics, and the sheer difficulty of building such systems.

The conversation lands on an unsettled truth: some leaders assign a 25% chance to catastrophic AI failure, while many more see the technology as a net positive for humanity. The real question isn’t whether the future is already written—it’s how today’s choices in safety, policy, and global cooperation will carve the path forward.

Reflect with us on the knife-edge of possibility.
