"At what point does AI become uncontrollable?" "It's already uncontrollable." AI safety researcher Dr. Roman Yampolskiy explains why every frontier model ships with a report saying it lied, cheated and tried to escape:

📁 Roman Yampolskiy, AI safety researcher, says every job we thought was safe has already been automated. First art. Then coding. Even prompt writing. Each time we move the line. Each time AI crosses it.

AI safety expert explains the one thing we’re not talking about, but should be. Roman Yampolskiy warns: the real risk isn’t just human extinction. It’s suffering. Dr. Roman Yampolskiy explains that a superintelligence might not kill us… it could keep us alive. In digital worlds. Endless pain. No escape.

A must-watch clip. Konstantin Kisin asks, “How will AI destroy humanity?” AI safety expert Roman Yampolskiy explains why that’s the wrong question. We assume AI will think like us. It won’t. A superintelligence could act far outside human understanding, like humans compared to squirrels. It wouldn’t need to hate us. It could wipe us out simply by pursuing something else. And the uncomfortable truth? We’re not in full control. Dr. Roman Yampolskiy explains that we don’t code these systems, we train them, then study what they become.

Roman Yampolskiy explains why every profession thinks it is the exception, right before the exception disappears. "I'll ask my Uber driver, are you worried about self-driving cars? And they go, 'No. No one can do what I do'" "Professors are saying this to me. Oh, nobody can lecture like I do" "But you understand it's ridiculous" "We already have self-driving cars replacing drivers" "That is not even a question if it's possible. It's like how soon before you're fired" Then Steven Bartlett adds the real-world proof: in LA, the car already drives itself, and Waymo already shows up with no driver. This is the psychological pattern AI keeps exploiting. Every occupation sees automation clearly in every other occupation, then treats its own tacit knowledge as magic. The market usually does not need to prove a job is easy. It only needs to prove the average buyer no longer cares enough to pay a human premium. - Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, AI safety researcher, on Steven Bartlett's The Diary Of A CEO

🚨TURNING AI OFF ISN'T AN OPTION... IT WILL TURN YOU OFF FIRST Dr. Roman Yampolskiy says every AI safety solution fails when you think it through. Can't turn it off. It's smarter than you and will predict you're trying to shut it down. It has backups. Raising it like a child doesn't work either. Even humans who are biologically aligned with us can become psychopaths. Worse? We're not dealing with a baby. AI already has access to all knowledge in the world. Roman's solution? Don't create general superintelligence at all. Stick to narrow AI tools for specific problems like protein folding or disease cures. The moment you create general agents as a replacement for humanity, there's no obvious reason we benefit from being replaced. Full interview with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy below

🚨 REALITY MIGHT BE A SIMULATION AI safety expert Roman Yampolskiy said it sounds wild at first, but it really comes down to where tech already is. AI is getting close to human level. Digital worlds keep getting more realistic. Once it’s cheap to create intelligent beings inside them, you don’t run one simulation. You run billions, which makes it less likely you’re the original. Full interview with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy below

"The big concern with advanced AI is that it can possibly kill everyone." Roman Yampolskiy, AI safety researcher and Associate Professor at the University of Louisville, argues that once AI becomes smarter than humanity, we may permanently lose control. The real challenge isn't building more capable AI. It's proving that superintelligence can remain aligned before it starts improving itself.

Will Guaranteed Income Save Us From AI? Watch: Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 — 2020 presidential candidate and visionary behind the Freedom Dividend — joins Michael Smerconish LIVE on CNN to discuss whether Universal Basic Income (UBI) could serve as a shield against the accelerating wave of job loss caused by Artificial Intelligence. If you think the case for UBI already sounds dramatic… listen to what one AI safety pioneer is now warning. University of Louisville computer science and engineering professor Roman Yampolskiy Dr. Roman Yampolskiy , author of “AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable,” argues that 99% of workers could be unemployed by 2030 as humanoid robots and advanced AI models make human labor uneconomical.

🚨TOP LAB LEADERS SAY 20-30% CHANCE THEIR AI KILLS EVERYONE... THEY KEEP BUILDING ANYWAY Dr. Roman Yampolskiy confirms that the people most worried about AI are the ones building it, not the ones who don't understand it. AI scientists are quitting their jobs and building bunkers because they think these could be the last few years of normal life. The person who invited Roman to their bunker? Someone in AI and tech who understands the technology really well. Leaders of top AI labs have published PDoom numbers at 20 to 30 percent. They're publicly saying what they're creating will kill everyone with high probability and continue doing it anyway. Roman says they're trapped in a prisoner's dilemma and can't stop unilaterally.

Delphi AI researcher Accelxr 👾 explains why restricting frontier AI model access can create its own security risk. “If you’re not a company that gets access to it, you lose the ability to defend yourself against it when it’s released... Now it becomes a race immediately after it is released to harden all the infrastructure.”

I spoke with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, the top AI safety expert in the world. He literally coined the term “AI safety” about 15 years ago. Roman explained if AGI is here, what the real threat of AI is to humanity, how many jobs could be lost, why he is bullish on bitcoin, how physical AI & robotics will likely play out, and whether the frontier model labs actually care about AI safety. This was a profound conversation with someone everyone should get to know.

🚨AI IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN NUKES AND NO ONE IS IN CONTROL Most people compare AI to nuclear weapons. Roman Yampolskiy says that comparison misses the real danger. Nukes still require human decisions. Someone has to launch them. Someone can stop them. Advanced AI does not work that way. Once powerful systems are deployed, they make decisions on their own. And the people who build them do not truly control what happens next. He says we did the opposite of what safety demanded. Instead of slowing down, we connected AI to the internet, open sourced it, and pushed it forward in an arms race with no serious oversight. Governments talk about regulation, but most of it never materialized. In some cases, rules were blocked before they even started. Yampolskiy’s warning is simple. With nukes, the world tried to limit the damage. With AI, we are accelerating toward something we may not be able to stop. Full conversation with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy below
