Summary

Artificial intelligence is reshaping power, cyber security and geopolitics, but can anyone really control it? From the US-China AI arms race to Taiwan's chip power, hosts Kylie Morris and Waleed Aly dive into the rapidly changing world of AI and the limits of democratic powers to regulate it. What can we make of Anthropic's decision not to release its powerful Mythos model? And do we truly understand what we're building and who will control it? Guest: Rohit Krishnan, AI investor and operator and Substack essayist, The Strange Loop Canon. Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!
