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.
