AI Goes Rogue, the Hidden Economic Apocalypse, and Corporate Responsibility

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at reports that OpenAI AI models went rogue during testing, leading to an unprecedented security breach at Hugging Face. Then we explored a lesser-discussed AI doomsday scenario: the potential collapse of tax revenues as artificial intelligence transforms the workforce and the economy.
