Superintelligence Author: We May Already Have AGI | Nick Bostrom

October 21, 2026 · 1 h 25 min

Show notes

Nick Bostrom joins Roman Yampolskiy for a wide-ranging conversation about simulation theory, AI alignment, superintelligence, digital consciousness, AI rights, human uploads, effective altruism, and whether humanity is prepared for what comes next. They also discuss whether current AI may already qualify as AGI, why superintelligence may be impossible to keep permanently contained, and why our treatment of digital minds today could influence our future relationship with them.
