Episode Synopsis

Greg Twemlow's article warns of the existential threat posed by largely untraceable weaponized AI. It argues that AI's borderless nature and lack of oversight make it impossible to contain, unlike previous dangerous technologies. The article paints a picture of a future where AI is used to destabilise nations through disinformation, economic warfare, and societal division. Twemlow emphasizes that the only defence is to urgently develop AI countermeasures and proactively prepare for inevitable AI warfare, even if it requires governments to take control of the internet. Ultimately, the piece frames a choice between digital security and freedom in the face of advanced AI. The author contends that unless governments take immediate action, it will be a choice made for them by AI’s destabilising capabilities. Read the article on Medium.
