    Nvidia's answer to rogue AI changes the conversation

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just made two huge moves that might change how we think about AI risk entirely.

In The Loop host Ejaaz Ahamadeen breaks down how this new two-part safety system actually works, why Huang's stance is the opposite of what other AI labs are saying, and what a recent state dinner guest list reveals about who's really steering the US-China AI race.

    This is Humanity's Last Decision

    Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just told the entire AI industry to slam the brakes, warning that failure to do so will leave humanity staring down a catastrophe that could torch hundreds of billions of dollars globally. Within hours, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis all agreed he was right. But while Anthropic's own head of alignment upped the stakes on humanity's odds of being wiped out by AI, skeptics call this a regulatory capture play that conveniently leaves China racing ahead. In The Loop host Ejaaz Ahamadeen breaks down who's actually right, who's spinning, and what this all means for humanity’s future. Ejaaz then sits down with Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon to talk about the company's latest strides in AI from the Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii.
