In this episode, John and Sven discuss risk and technology ethics. They focus, in particular, on the perennially popular and widely discussed problems of value alignment (how to get technology to align with our values) and control (making sure technology doesn’t do something terrible). They start the conversation with the famous case study of Stanislov Petrov and the prevention of nuclear war.
