Imagine a future where we interact regularly with a range of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) assistants — and where millions of assistants interact with each other on our behalf. These experiences and interactions may soon become part of our everyday reality. In this episode, host Hannah Fry and Google DeepMind Senior Staff Research Scientist Iason Gabriel discuss the ethical implications of advanced AI assistants. Drawing from Iason’s recent paper, they examine value alignment, anthropomorphism, safety concerns, and the potential societal impact of these technologies.

Activating humanitarian data for rapid response efforts: The need for humanitarian aid is enormous and urgent, with over 300M people needing assistance globally. Response organizations are resource-constrained, and the first 24 hours of response are critical – yet sharing information and data and making sense of it to coordinate response often takes far longer than that window. The Humanitarian Data Insights Project (HDIP) overcomes these challenges and provides a model of responsible GenAI use for the nonprofit sector. Attendees will learn how a collaboration led by DataKind and Save the Children has created a model for “combining meaningful data meaningfully”…
NVIDIA has announced a foundation AI model for humanoid robots called NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1, aka GR00T N1. The chip maker announced that this pre-trained AI model is available as open-source. The announcement came at the company’s annual GTC conference, which took place in San Jose, California, on March 18. NVIDIA has announced the GR00T N1, a foundation AI model for humanoid robots NVIDIA reportedly trained the GR00T N1 AI model on existing datasets and synthetically generated data. For those unaware, synthetic data is artificially created using computational methods and simulations and mimics the statistical properties of real-world data. The…
A new paper co-authored by the former CEO of Google has outlined a future where AI training data centers could be blown up by foreign nations.Eric Schmidt, along with Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and the Center for AI Safety’s Dan Hendrycks, warned that “destabilizing AI developments could rupture the balance of power and raise the odds of great-power conflict.”The paper lays out the concept of Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM), modeled on nuclear mutual assured destruction (MAD), where any “aggressive bid for unilateral AI dominance is met with preventive sabotage by rivals.”This could involve espionage, cyberattacks, or kinetic strikes…
C3.ai experienced a 5% price increase last week, potentially driven by its recent strategic alliance with PwC. This partnership aims to implement AI-powered business transformation across industries such as banking, financial services, and manufacturing. The focus includes tailored solutions like C3 AI Reliability and C3 AI Anti-Money Laundering. Amid broader market downturns, where the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq experienced declines of up to 1.5%, C3.ai’s gains appear noteworthy. While major indexes saw negative sentiment driven by economic concerns and high-profile events in the tech sector, the company’s strategic moves and industry-specific offerings possibly provided positive investor sentiment and…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appears to have struck a deal with the Trump administration to avoid export restrictions on the company’s H20 AI chips. The H20, the most advanced Nvidia-produced AI chip that can still be exported from the U.S. to China, was reportedly spared thanks to a promise from Huang to invest in new AI data centers in the U.S. According to NPR, Huang made the proposal during a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort sometime last week. Nvidia declined to comment. Many in the semiconductor industry feared H20s, which are modified to have lower performance than other Nvidia chips,…
Robert Legato – the respected VFX innovator who won Oscars for “Titanic,” “Hugo” and “The Jungle Book” – has joined Stability AI at chief pipeline architect.
