| 4/15/26 | AI for Civilizational Sanity (with Rose Hadshar and Owen Cotton-Barratt) | Owen Cotton-Barratt is a research consultant working with the Future of Life Institute, and a co-author of several recent Forethought articles on AI tools for epistemics and coordination. Rose Hadshar is a researcher at Forethought. They discuss: Whether LLMs are now good enough to start building tools that meaningfully help people track what's true What AI-powered reliability tracking could look like How AI negotiation systems could work Structured transparency and automated arms inspection — verifying compliance without revealing confidential information Whether coordination tech is more likely to enable cooperation or collusion The vision of a "Sensible Revolution": moving from individual tools to background infrastructure that makes civilisation's decision-making less insane Why building the good versions of these tools early matters for path dependency You can read a full transcript here.
