AI:AM — Math, Biosecurity, and World Models · June 17, 2026

Carina Hong, Doni Bloomfield, and Sam Pasupalak join AI:AM for a full episode on mathematical superintelligence, biosecurity law, and enterprise world models. The conversation moves from Lean-based formal verification and AI-generated conjectures to legal risk controls for dual-use biology, then into causal world models, long-horizon enterprise planning, and what comes after today’s LLM workflows.
