AI Exinction Risk: Superintelligence, AI Arms Race & Safety Controls - Max Winga and Peter McCormack (Video)
In this 14 July 2025 video, host Peter McCormack talks with Max Winga, an AI safety advocate from Control AI, joins The Peter McCormack Show for a sobering look at the existential risk posed by artificial intelligence. In this episode, Max reveals how the reckless race for superintelligence, a profound lack of enforceable safety measures, and the apathy of global governance are putting humanity on a potential path to extinction.
We explore the chilling capabilities of emerging AI, the concept of a runaway “intelligence explosion,” why top AI researchers are sounding the alarm, and what happens when we can no longer control our own creations.
