Here's What the AI Apocalypse Could Look Like
Here's What the AI Apocalypse Could Look Like This week on, we discuss three possible AI doomsday scenarios, AI safety, and the unexpected bipartisan alliance forming against AI. The debate of whether AI can kill us has been everywhere lately, but what would an actual AI catastrophe look like? This week, Brian Barrett, Zoë Schiffer, and Leah Feiger break down three real-world scenarios experts worry the most about--including hacked water supplies, bioweapons, and autonomous robots. We also discuss the highlights of Salesforce's annual conference, where OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei defended their positions on AI safety. Plus, Leah tells us how this backlash against AI has become a rare bipartisan flashpoint, to the point that Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon shared a stage over it this week.

And instead of just adding to the pile of hot takes that already exist, we're going to walk you through real specific scenarios to the best of our ability about how AI would actually do this, and why the tech CEOs and politicians cannot seem to agree on the way forward. OK, guys, so the debate about AI safety has officially escaped containment. AI researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic and posted on X that, The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei has called for a slowdown .

The UK's King Charles warns AI leaders of 'existential dangers'
The UK's King Charles warns AI leaders of'existential dangers' Share The UK's King Charles warns AI leaders of'existential dangers' on social media The United Kingdom's King Charles has warned Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry leaders of the "existential dangers" posed by the technology if it falls into the wrong hands. The monarch's comments on Thursday add to a global debate over whether, and how to regulate the industry. "There seems urgency in adequately considering the existential dangers of such technologies falling into the wrong hands, and being used in potentially catastrophic ways," Charles told guests at the opening of the conference. "Those in our world who value our humanity and its vital moral component are anxiously seeking your reassurance that we will not lose control of our destiny," he told the industry leaders. "Those who have created these technologies are now increasingly warning that AI risks developing darker capacities, perhaps even to take life," or be used in "potentially catastrophic ways", the king also said.

Headlines across Europe indicate a lot of confusion right now. The EU constitution rules that possibility out as Canada is geographically outside Europe. But in a speech on Thursday to the European Parliament, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said: Canada and Europe should secure our strategic autonomy through deep cooperation in the full range of strategic capabilities.
Lucid and Bolt plan to deploy at least 25,000 robotaxis across Europe
Lucid is making a push into the European robotaxi market and it's teaming up with Bolt to do so. Bolt plans to deploy at least 25,000 autonomous vehicles based on Lucid's midsize platform across the continent. The ridesharing company plans to have 100,000 AVs on its platform by 2035, but it hasn't revealed when these particular robotaxis are likely to go into service. Bolt, which plans to own and operate the Lucid fleet, will work with the automaker to develop the vehicle. The robotaxi will likely use NVIDIA's Hyperion autonomous vehicle architecture and it's being designed for Level 4 automation (in other words, the companies plan for it to run autonomously within defined boundaries).
What could EU associate member status mean for Canada?
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the European Union's ambition to make his country the first associate member of the bloc - but what would that mean in practice? Carney says he is seeking a unique relationship with the EU, in an apparent reference to the fact that EU treaties do not currently provide for associate membership. Germany had proposed Ukrainian associate membership earlier this year but Kyiv rejected the idea, saying it only wanted full EU integration. The EU itself also seemed reluctant. At the her State of the Union address on Wednesday, von der Leyen listed several key areas for cooperation, although she did not give specific details about how Canadian associate membership would work.
