Listen "Worried About AI Risks? "Q-day" Is The Real Threat, But Here's The Solution."
Episode Synopsis
Introduction:
In this episode, we explore some of the most pressing technological threats and developments shaping our world today. We begin with the urgent issue of quantum computing’s impact on data security—specifically, the rising “Harvest now, decrypt later” strategy that is triggering a quantum arms race between the US and UK as they rush to prepare for the looming “Q-day.” Next, we analyze a remarkable intervention by King Charles, who personally delivered a cautionary message about AI risks to Nvidia’s CEO, highlighting a fundamental clash between Europe’s cautious stance and America’s rapid innovation drive. Then, we examine the sharp decline in stock prices of Chinese autonomous vehicle giants Pony.ai and WeRide following their Hong Kong IPOs, driven largely by US regulatory restrictions and signaling challenges for the industry’s innovation path. We also discuss Snap’s strategic pivot to an “AI App Store” model through a $400 million deal with Perplexity AI amid slowing user growth and increasing regulatory pressures. Lastly, we cover a serious controversy sparked by Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot falsely defaming a UK official, a case that underscores the urgent need for AI accountability and regulation, particularly across Europe. Join us as we unpack these critical stories and their implications for the future of technology and society.
