These Creators Let AI Put Humanity On Trial...

What if the people funding the AI revolution aren't just trying to make money, but want to fundamentally change society? Behind the biggest AI companies is a small network of influential investors whose money, political connections and personal ideologies are helping shape the future of technology. Jack Benjamin, Senior Reporter at The Media Leader, returns to AI Haven't a Clue to unpack what these powerful figures actually believe. We explore Peter Thiel's controversial views on democracy and capitalism, Marc Andreessen's political shift, the influence of Silicon Valley billionaires on US policy, and the growing divide between those who want AI developed as quickly as possible and those calling for more safeguards. We also discuss the idea of AI accelerationism, the race against China, the future of regulation and why investors' financial incentives matter when deciding how technology is built. And what does all of this mean for you? The companies behind these products have access to enormous amounts of personal information. Who should control the technology that could reshape humanity: the people funding it, the governments regulating it, or the public using it?

Can ChatGPT be tricked into believing you're a pilot, a surgeon or a secret agent? Apparently, it will certainly try to help. A social media creator who deliberately trolls ChatGPT and tech billionaires making extraordinary promises about the future, we're getting into it! We look at prompts that convince ChatGPT to roleplay a plane emergency, an SAS interrogation and even self-surgery. Why does AI sometimes take absurd requests so seriously, and what does that tell us about the technology? AND Elon Musk's Starlink has become part of a serious debate about the role of private technology in warfare. Meanwhile, Musk says AI and robots could surpass human capabilities, and both he and Anthropic are proposing ways to share some of the wealth generated by AI.

Should schools ban AI, or is banning it the worst thing they could do? Children are already using ChatGPT, Gemini and AI image generators. But while some schools are blocking the technology, others are teaching pupils how to use it critically, creatively and responsibly. In this episode of AI Haven't a Clue, we speak to Tom Le Tissier, Head of Alleyn's Regent's Park, and Amy Austin, Head of Digital Learning, about the future of AI in education. Tom's school group developed its AIQ curriculum with MIT and other universities, while Amy is bringing AI literacy into the classroom, helping children understand everything from algorithms and misinformation to AI-generated images. We discuss: Why banning AI at school might leave children less prepared for the real world

A handful of billionaires could be deciding the future of AI. But who is funding them, what do they want, and how much power do they really have? We talk constantly about Sam Altman, Elon Musk and the race to build increasingly powerful AI. But behind the CEOs is another group of people with enormous influence: the investors funding the entire revolution. In this special episode of AI Haven't a Clue, George Butler is joined by Jack Benjamin, journalist at The Media Leader, to investigate the money behind AI. We uncover the connections between Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, the PayPal Mafia and some of Silicon Valley's biggest venture capital firms. We explore how the same investors keep appearing across OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX, and why their political connections matter. Plus, we look at the reported $30 billion UAE investment talks involving OpenAI, why AI investment is helping prop up the US economy, and what happens when so much power is concentrated in so few hands. If AI is going to change everyone's lives, shouldn't we know who's paying for it? Contact us over at aihaventaclue.com!

Your doctor might only see you when you're already sick. BUT AI could spot the warning signs years earlier.... Dr. Dan Sodickson has spent more than three decades working out how to see inside the human body. A physicist and MD, he has worked at Harvard and NYU, where he served as Vice Chair for Research and Chief of Innovation in Radiology. His big idea? We are using some of our best medical technology too late. MRI is usually used once there's already a reason to suspect something is wrong. But Dan believes AI could change that by making imaging faster, cheaper and more accurate. AI could compare new scans with your previous scans, understand your personal baseline and help doctors distinguish genuine warning signs from harmless changes. And eventually, he thinks scanning could move far beyond the hospital. Imagine a scanner built into your bed. Or your home. Or somewhere you visit every day. Dan calls this future “everywhere scanners”: a connected network of sensors, blood tests, imaging and wearable devices with AI acting as a kind of central brain, constantly looking for changes in your health.
