#51 Existential Risk: AI, Cyber Security, Pandemics, and Education w/ Dr. Shahar Avin Lost in Thought

I sat down with Shahar Avin, a Senior Research Associate at The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (@ The University of Cambridge). We spoke about short-to-near term risks associated with AI, smartphones, algorithms, and pandemics. We simultaneously tried to make connections to the way politics and education can be reconfigured in order to normalise and generate true and helpful discussion on these topics.
