Episode 2 is available right now for members here: https://youtu.be/iUPXMijvfoA What can the Aztec Empire's catastrophic failure to understand Cortés and the Spanish conquistadors teach us about the threat AI poses today? Why does Yuval Noah Harari believe our gut refuses to accept an "alien intelligence" our brains already understand to be a threat?

Rory is joined by Professor Yuval Noah Harari for Part 1 of their conversation on existential threats. --------------- Producer: India Dunkley Researcher: Evie Townend Video Editor: Josh Smith Social Producer: Celine Charles Executive Producer: Isabella Soames
