Superintelligence Could Arrive in 1 to 2 Years | Dewi Erwan
Notes de l’épisode
BlueDot Impact co-founder and CEO Dewi Erwan breaks down the bottleneck in AI safety talent, the prospect of superintelligence landing within two years, and why the field desperately needs founders and government advocates rather than more machine learning researchers. He outlines BlueDot’s model of issuing $50,000 grants and opening a dedicated campus to accelerate career pivots into existential risk reduction. Check out our sponsor Lovable: https://lovable.dev.
