About this episode
Dr. Roman Yampolskiy discusses the challenges of AI safety and the potential risks of advanced AI systems.
Dr. Roman Yampolskiy is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Louisville, where he has spent over a decade researching AI safety, superintelligent systems, and artificial general intelligence.
