Om Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Show with Soroush Pour
When will the world create an artificial intelligence that matches human level capabilities, better known as an artificial general intelligence (AGI)? What will that world look like & how can we ensure it's positive & beneficial for humanity as a whole? Tech entrepreneur & software engineer Soroush Pour (@soroushjp) sits down with AI experts to discuss AGI timelines, pathways, implications, opportunities & risks as we enter this pivotal new era for our planet and species.Hosted by Soroush Pour.

Ep 14 - Interp, latent robustness, RLHF limitations w/ Stephen Casper (PhD AI researcher, MIT) (02:42:17)
We speak with Stephen Casper, or "Cas" as his friends call him. Cas is a PhD student at MIT in the Computer Science (EECS) department, in the Algorithmic Alignment Group advised by Prof Dylan Hadfield-Menell. Formerly, he worked with the Harvard Kreiman Lab and the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) at Berkeley. His work focuses on better understanding the internal workings of AI models (better known as “interpretability”), making them robust to various kinds of adversarial attacks, and ca...
Ep 13 - AI researchers expect AGI sooner w/ Katja Grace (Co-founder & Lead Researcher, AI Impacts) (01:20:28)
We speak with Katja Grace. Katja is the co-founder and lead researcher at AI Impacts, a research group trying to answer key questions about the future of AI — when certain capabilities will arise, what will AI look like, how it will all go for humanity. We talk to Katja about: * How AI Impacts latest rigorous survey of leading AI researchers shows they've dramatically reduced their timelines to when AI will successfully tackle all human tasks & occupations. * The survey's methodology an...
Ep 12 - Education & advocacy for AI safety w/ Rob Miles (YouTube host) (01:21:26)
We speak with Rob Miles. Rob is the host of the “Robert Miles AI Safety” channel on YouTube, the single most popular AI alignment video series out there — he has 145,000 subscribers and his top video has ~600,000 views. He goes much deeper than many educational resources out there on alignment, going into important technical topics like the orthogonality thesis, inner misalignment, and instrumental convergence. Through his work, Robert has educated thousands on AI safety, including many now ...
Ep 11 - Technical alignment overview w/ Thomas Larsen (Director of Strategy, Center for AI Policy) (01:37:19)
We speak with Thomas Larsen, Director for Strategy at the Center for AI Policy in Washington, DC, to do a "speed run" overview of all the major technical research directions in AI alignment. A great way to quickly learn broadly about the field of technical AI alignment. In 2022, Thomas spent ~75 hours putting together an overview of what everyone in technical alignment was doing. Since then, he's continued to be deeply engaged in AI safety. We talk to Thomas to share an updated overview to h...
Ep 10 - Accelerated training to become an AI safety researcher w/ Ryan Kidd (Co-Director, MATS) (01:16:58)
We speak with Ryan Kidd, Co-Director at ML Alignment & Theory Scholars (MATS) program, previously "SERI MATS". MATS (https://www.matsprogram.org/) provides research mentorship, technical seminars, and connections to help new AI researchers get established and start producing impactful research towards AI safety & alignment. Prior to MATS, Ryan completed a PhD in Physics at the University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia. We talk about: * What the MATS program is * Who should apply ...
Ep 9 - Scaling AI safety research w/ Adam Gleave (CEO, FAR AI) (01:19:12)
We speak with Adam Gleave, CEO of FAR AI (https://far.ai). FAR AI’s mission is to ensure AI systems are trustworthy & beneficial. They incubate & accelerate research that's too resource-intensive for academia but not ready for commercialisation. They work on everything from adversarial robustness, interpretability, preference learning, & more. We talk to Adam about: * The founding story of FAR as an AI safety org, and how it's different from the big commercial labs (e.g. OpenAI)...
Ep 8 - Getting started in AI safety & alignment w/ Jamie Bernardi (AI Safety Lead, BlueDot Impact) (01:07:23)
We speak with Jamie Bernardi, co-founder & AI Safety Lead at not-for-profit BlueDot Impact, who host the biggest and most up-to-date courses on AI safety & alignment at AI Safety Fundamentals (https://aisafetyfundamentals.com/). Jamie completed his Bachelors (Physical Natural Sciences) and Masters (Physics) at the U. Cambridge and worked as an ML Engineer before co-founding BlueDot Impact. The free courses they offer are created in collaboration with people on the cutting edge of AI ...
Ep 7 - Responding to a world with AGI - Richard Dazeley (Prof AI & ML, Deakin University) (01:10:05)
In this episode, we speak with Prof Richard Dazeley about the implications of a world with AGI and how we can best respond. We talk about what he thinks AGI will actually look like as well as the technical and governance responses we should put in today and in the future to ensure a safe and positive future with AGI. Prof Richard Dazeley is the Deputy Head of School at the School of Information Technology at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. He’s also a senior member of the Internat...
Ep 6 - Will we see AGI this decade? Our AGI predictions & debate w/ Hunter Jay (CEO, Ripe Robotics) (01:20:58)
In this episode, we have back on the show Hunter Jay, CEO Ripe Robotics, our co-host on Ep 1. We synthesise everything we've heard on AGI timelines from experts in Ep 1-5, take in more data points, and use this to give our own forecasts for AGI, ASI (i.e. superintelligence), and "intelligence explosion" (i.e. singularity). Importantly, we have different takes on when AGI will likely arrive, leading to exciting debates on AGI bottlenecks, hardware requirements, the need for sequential reinforc...
Ep 5 - Accelerating AGI timelines since GPT-4 w/ Alex Browne (ML Engineer) (00:38:26)
