Summary
In this episode of For Humanity , host John Sherman speaks with Esben Kran , one of the leading figures in the for-profit AI safety movement, joining live from Ukraine — where he’s exploring the intersection of AI safety, autonomous drones, and the defense tech boom. 🔎 They discuss: * The rise of for-profit AI safety startups and why technology must lead regulation. * How Ukraine’s drone industry became the frontline of autonomous warfare. * What happens when AI gains control — and how we might still shut it down. * The chilling concept of a global “AI kill chain” and what humanity must do now. Esben also shares insights from companies like Lucid Computing and Workshop Labs , the growing global coordination challenges, and why the next AI safety breakthroughs may not come from labs in Berkeley — but from battlefields and builders abroad. 🔗 Subscribe for more conversations about AI risk, ethics, and the fight to build a safe future for humanity. 📺 Watch more episodes #AISafety #AIAlignment #ForHumanityPodcast #AIRisk #FutureOfAI #AIandWarfare #AutonomousWeapons #AIEthics #TechForGood #ArtificialIntelligence This is a public episode.
