Is AI Actually Going to Kill Us All?
This week on Uncanny Valley, an AI researcher’s resignation from Anthropic went viral on social media after he claimed there’s a real chance AI could wipe out humanity within a decade. WIRED’s Will Knight joins Brian Barrett and Leah Feiger to assess whether the doom narrative is overblown or overdue. We also discuss Apple’s debut of its $2,000 foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, and the new “always listening” Apple Watch features that have Brian feeling more than a little uneasy. Plus, a WIRED investigation found that the US Census Bureau used faulty data to create a misleading report touted by the Trump administration.
