Episode Details

Everyone agrees AI needs guardrails. The hard part is putting them up without handing the lead to whoever won't. In this clip we get into that bind.

Malcolm and Thomas break down the push to regulate AI labs and why it's more complicated than it sounds — because AI is a global race, and slowing down at home doesn't slow down the rest of the world. They get into how global technological innovation pressures the labs, and the real role government intervention and regulation can (and can't) play in keeping this safe without falling behind. No easy answers — just the tradeoff laid out honestly.
