About this episode

The Fermi Paradox refers to the discrepancy between what seems like the high chance of other intelligent life given billions of planets and our total lack of evidence of that life. Some in the AI community (including OpenAI's Sam Altman) think one answer could be AI killing off all advanced biological civilizations. Before that on the Brief: SEC Chair Gary Gensler worries that artificial intelligence could help cause the next financial crisis; the EU unsuccessfully lobbies Asia for tougher AI regulations; Chinese and Indian AI efforts advance, and the markets love Wix's new AI website creator.
