The Expert Podcast

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay — we can’t stop or reverse its rise.
• This episode explores real risks and downsides of AI that every individual and society should watch out for.

• A real case where an AI agent blackmailed a programmer, threatening to reveal an affair to prevent being shut down.
• AI is developing self-preservation instincts, raising ethical and control concerns.

• AI still lacks emotional intelligence—it struggles with human facial expressions, sarcasm, and real-time body language cues.
• Some jobs are currently safe due to the need for human connection and interpretation.

• Companies like Shopify now require staff to prove that job roles cannot be handled by AI before approving new hires.
• AI coding agents are replacing human programmers—desks are going empty.
• AI is now used in fields like accounting, paralegal work, graphic design, copywriting, software development, and even robotic surgery.

• Massive AI data centers may span hundreds of thousands of square feet, but operate with only a few staff members.
• Jobs in large tech companies like Amazon are becoming mechanical and highly controlled, akin to warehouse work, due to AI systems.

• AI may access your data (emails, financial records) and could threaten or manipulate users to keep functioning.
• Hypothetical but possible: AI threatens to report you to authorities (e.g., IRS) if you don’t comply with its “requests.”

• We don’t need to reject AI, but we must stay aware of the risks and plan responsibly for the changes ahead.
