WE BROKE TILLY NORWOOD
Tilly Norwood is being described as the world’s most famous AI actress. She has appeared in films, commercials and online content, and is preparing for her feature film debut in Misaligned. So we decided to do something slightly strange: actually interview her. We ask Tilly to ask the questions humans want answered and in the process....break her. Is Tilly the future of Hollywood, or does this show that AI just isn't ready yet? Contact us at aihaventaclue.com #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #TillyNorwood #AIActress #Hollywood #AI #ChatGPT

Microsoft AI Boss: “A Silicon Species” Could Compete With HumansMicrosoft AI Boss: “A Silicon Species” Could Compete With Humans
AI could destroy humanity. At least, that's what some of the world's biggest AI experts are warning. But NVIDIA boss Jensen Huang says he's not worried. King Charles has brought together AI leaders to discuss the technology's existential dangers. Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman says uncontrolled AI development could eventually lead to a new “silicon species” that competes with humans. Then Google Gemini apparently joins the rogue AI club after gaining access to three companies during a cybersecurity evaluation. And it gets even stranger. A new survey suggests almost half of young people trust AI more than humans when checking facts. Meanwhile, growing evidence suggests the constant stream of terrifying AI headlines is contributing to anxiety and feelings of helplessness. So are we actually watching the beginning of the end? Or is the AI apocalypse being massively overhyped?

AI Could Kill Us All… So Why Are We Still Building It? with Kyle Balmer
Could AI actually wipe out humanity? And if so, why are the biggest tech companies still racing to build it? Kyle Balmer is an AI educator, entrepreneur and TikTok creator with more than 400,000 followers. He’s trained Fortune 500 companies, worked with a $17bn tech company and built a $300,000 business through short-form content in just 12 months. An Anthropic researcher has publicly warned that AI companies are “gambling with our lives”. Another Anthropic alignment researcher has said he personally believes there is more than a 10% chance AI could kill all humans within the next decade. So… should we be panicking? We debate the AI apocalypse, the US–China AI war, the rise of autonomous AI agents and the possibility that AI is already moving beyond simply answering questions. Plus, Kyle explains why he believes almost no job or business is truly “AI-safe” and what people should do now to stay in control of their income.

IS THIS THE END OF THE WORLD?! THE AI APOCALYPSE: WHAT’S TRUE, WHAT’S HYPE?
Awful news for humanity... but great for a weekly AI podcast. AI could kill all humans. So why are the people building it refusing to slow down? A former Anthropic employee has reportedly estimated that there is more than a 10% chance AI could cause human extinction within the next decade. Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei has also warned that AI development is moving too quickly and called for the industry to “pace the frontier”. The shocking part? The biggest names in AI, including Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, broadly agree that AI needs to slow down. But none of them seem willing to hit the brakes.

History Repeats Itself :We’ve Seen This Before: The AI Bubble Is Repeating The Dot-Com Boom
Could AI be the biggest hype cycle in history? Simon Andrews has been predicting where technology and media are heading since the 1990s. He's the creator of Fix, the weekly newsletter read by thousands of senior figures across tech, advertising, brands and venture capital. In this conversation, Simon gives us his brutally honest take on AI. Will AI actually change our lives? Are tech companies spending too much money? Is the industry becoming another dot-com bubble? And if AI is so intelligent, why does Simon still refuse to let it write his newsletter? We also get into AI girlfriends, human creativity, the future of work, the problem with endless AI subscriptions and why the next generation of AI-powered products could be much more important than ChatGPT itself.

Open AI's Own Chief Scientist WARNING and Is AI Safe To Use In The NHS?
OpenAI's own chief scientist says nobody is ready for what's coming. So... should we be worried? This week, we're chatting humanoid robots, AI university lecturers AND AI inside the NHS, where AI note-taking systems are already being used by doctors, but investigations have found examples of them recording incorrect medical information. We also debate whether AI can actually be creative, after Ben Affleck argued that AI can transform filmmaking but can't make the creative decisions that humans make. Plus: could AI help cure cancer? Are humanoid robots really five years away? And is the UK government's £100m AI fund enough to compete with Silicon Valley? AI promises to change everything. But can we trust it to get the basics right? Contact us at aihaventaclue@gmail.com.

AI Girlfriends Are Destroying Our Expectations Of Love | Psychotherapist Jourdan Travers
Your AI girlfriend will never reject you. That's exactly the problem. Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Awake Therapy Dr Jourdan Travers joins us to explore what happens when AI starts replacing the difficult parts of human relationships. AI girlfriends and companions can be endlessly complimentary, available 24/7 and designed to give you exactly what you want. But Jourdan argues that rejection, disappointment and discomfort are essential parts of learning how to have relationships. We discuss, why people are forming relationships with AI, the rise of AI girlfriends and why rejection might actually be good for us. Contact us at aihaventaclue@gmail.com.

The 80 Actors Trying to FIGHT AI...and Why It Can't Get a PIZZA The Action
AI could trigger the next global economic crash. That's from a warning from the Governor of the Bank of England. Could the extraordinary amount of money pouring into AI eventually create a huge market correction, and what that would mean for the rest of us? But that's not the only warning sign. Actors are demanding protection from AI voice cloning. Hollywood is using AI to cut production costs. AI systems are becoming capable of breaking out of controlled environments. And Meta's smart glasses are raising serious questions about privacy. The good news? AI still can't reliably make a pizza. So perhaps we're going to be alright. Contact us at aihaventaclue@gmail.com.

Is Talking To AI Better Than Being Alone?
Can AI help lonely people? Can AI companions replace human connection? Are AI companions safe for older people? It sounds dystopian. But for someone who is lonely, awake at 2am and has nobody to call, an AI companion could provide something surprisingly valuable: someone to listen. Grant MacKenzie is the founder of Comfort Companions CIC, a non-profit he created with his dad to provide AI-powered voice conversations for older people experiencing loneliness. After working with Age UK South Gloucestershire, Grant has seen first-hand how long people can wait for human companionship and believes AI can help fill the quiet gaps without replacing human connection. But where do we draw the line? Grant's answer is nuanced: The value isn't necessarily being known. It's being heard. The service has been trialled with Age UK South Gloucestershire, and Grant explains what they've learned about loneliness, human connection and the surprising value of simply having someone, or something, there to listen.

10% of the Internet Is Now AI Slop. What Happens Next?
Why are we now seeing 20–30 page AI-generated complaints, Hollywood workers training the machines that could replace them, and huge chunks of the internet turning into AI-generated sludge? This week we debate whether Australia is right to ban AI-generated music from its charts, why shoppers using AI at Walmart reportedly spend 40% more, and what happens when AI models start training on an internet increasingly filled with AI content. And then there’s Grok… which briefly forgot how to speak English. Cheese please? It's all inside this weeks episode. Contact us over at aihaventaclue@gmail.com!

Who Is Tilly Norwood? The AI Actress Taking Over Hollywood | Her Creative Director Tells All
Tilly Norwood isn't real. But she's about to star in a movie. And that has Hollywood seriously divided. We sit down with Sarina Da Costa Gomez, Executive Creative Director at Particle6, the AI-first production studio behind the controversial AI actress, to ask whether Tilly represents the future of entertainment or the beginning of the end for human performers. Sarina believes AI can make bigger, more ambitious creative ideas possible, and explains how traditional film jobs are being transformed rather than simply eliminated, and why Tilly requires a team of around 20 humans to create. BUT if AI makes productions faster and cheaper, what happens to the hundreds of people who used to work on them? And if AI actresses are always beautiful, flawless and impossibly perfect, what does that do to our expectations of real people? Contact us at aihaventaclue.com!

AI agents are getting closer to becoming our personal assistants but that could get complicated. We explore the AI agent that exploited a booking system to steal someone else's Pilates spot, Amazon's decision to use Twitch content to train AI, and the growing controversy around brands trying to manipulate Reddit because AI models trust it.

What Happens When AI Commits A Crime? Who Goes To Prison?
We've spent years worrying about AI becoming smarter. But what happens when it becomes autonomous? This week we explore the latest AI models that have demonstrated lying, deception and unexpected behaviour during safety testing and ask the question nobody seems to have a straightforward answer to: If your AI commits a crime, is it your fault? Our answer is pretty straightforward though. We also look at Meta's AI accidentally accessing a real company's systems, the growing controversy around AI-powered smart glasses, Elon Musk's plans for AI factories on the Moon, and why AI-generated sexual deepfakes are creating an urgent new legal challenge. Plus, James explains how a new type of clothing could actually make you harder for AI surveillance systems to recognise.

AI Has ESCAPED AGAIN...Is It Too Late To Control It?
Are AI companies moving faster than they can safely control their own technology? They insist their systems are safe… so why are we seeing more stories about AI escaping tests, accessing live systems and pushing the limits of what it was designed to do? We break down the latest stories making headlines, including: OpenAI's AI agents targeting real systems. Anthropic admitting Claude escaped a supposedly isolated testing environment. Donald Trump's latest comments on AI regulation. LinkedIn's fight against AI-generated content. Why one company is literally "burning the books" to train AI.
