In the latest episode of the "Eye on AI" podcast, EY's head of consulting Errol Gardner confirms that we are in the phoney war phase of the agentic AI revolution. We have a window of opportunity to learn how to make AI agents safe by verifying them. conscium.com/verifyax

Daniel charts the past, present and future of AI agents at the IAB AI Growth Summit.

A pleasure to discuss the future of AI with Dan Blumberg on "Future Around and Find Out". We cover Verify AX, the verification platform for AI agents, and the Economic Singularity. www.futurearound.com/p/what-if-ai...

1/8 Ask an LLM if it’s confident about something, and it replies 'yeah, definitely'. Then you explain that it’s wrong, and it glibly replies 'my bad.' This is not metacognition, says Megan Peters, but mimicry. www.prism-global.com/podcast/mega...

Tickets are selling like hotcakes. Or should I say like nata. See you i Lisbon on June 8th. www.lisbonaisummit.com

9/9 The consciousness we think we have is cartoonish, just like your brain's model of your body is cartoonish. Your sense of having an "inner experience" is a sketch of the real machinery underneath. www.prism-global.com/podcast/mich...

4/8 Human-like AI is quietly reshaping our perception of what it means to be a person. www.prism-global.com/podcast/rose...

Conscium on "The Business of Thinking" podcast. AI agents, verification, and the Economic Singularity. And a discussion about whether making machines conscious could actually make them safer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilBf...

1/6 Our guest this episode is Chris Percy, Director of the Co-Sentience Institute. He is working to map and improve the resources that will enable people to make informed decisions about artificial consciousness. www.prism-global.com/podcast/chri...

Microsoft's AI Economy Institute published this map of AI adoption globally. The USA comes 24th.

CNBC asked 40 business and tech leaders if there is an AI bubble that is about to burst. This chart shows their answers. Which, average to "meh". Details at: www.cnbc.com/2026/01/10/a...

This episode is different: no guest. David and I Iook back at 2025 and forward to 2026. We discuss the rapid improvement of LLMs, the AI bubble, AI agents, artificial consciousness, and the future of jobs. calumchace.com/podcast-feed/

This episode is different: no guest. David and I Iook back at 2005 and forward to 2006. We discuss the rapid improvement of LLMs, the AI bubble, AI agents, artificial consciousness, and the future of jobs. calumchace.com/podcast-feed/

13/13 Stephen has an intriguing vision for a future version of his book, which evolves according to each reader’s requirements. He would train “WittGPT” on his voluminous notes, and it would write the ideal book for each reader. calumchace.com/podcast-feed/

The jagged edge of AI.

6/6 If Cameron had to choose whether the first superintelligent AI is conscious or a zombie, he would choose a conscious one. www.prism-global.com/podcast/came...

1/6 Our guest is Cameron Berg, who leads AE Studio´s research into markers of subjective experience in AIs. He studied cognitive science at Yale, has worked at Meta, and has built psychometric tools used by millions. www.prism-global.com/podcast/came...

8/10 Lenore believes that artificial consciousness is not here yet, but that its arrival is inevitable, and fairly soon. www.prism-global.com/podcast/leno...

5/5 If Clara had to choose whether the first superintelligence is conscious or a zombie, she would choose a zombie. This is because she sees conscious entities as less predictable. www.prism-global.com/podcast/clar...

6/6 Avalanche Most people´s instinct is that structural unemployment will rise gradually, perhaps over several years. It is more likely to arrive suddenly. We need a plan. Now. www.forbes.com/sites/calumc...

“One AI bubble has already burst – the bubble in saying there’s a bubble,” The Deutsche Bank Research Institute says the number of web searches for “AI bubble” has plummeted in the past month.

5/6 Abundance Of course, there is a catch. The real challenge is not meaning, but income. Without jobs, how will we all pay for the goods and services we need for a good life? Abundance is part of the answer, but distribution remains a hard problem. www.forbes.com/sites/calumc...

4/6 Awesome Liberating humans from the daily grind of jobs could be a liberation. We will stop doing what someone else wants us to do, and do things that we want to do, like playing, socialising, learning, travelling, exploring. www.forbes.com/sites/calumc...

3/6 Aims “Aims” as in “meaning”. People think this is the biggest problem, but actually most people don't derive life meaning from jobs. Meaning comes form family, friends, religion, hobbies, beliefs, etc. www.forbes.com/sites/calumc...

2/6 Automation Economists doubt that automation will cause technological unemployment because it hasn´t in the past. But it did for horses, and unless we stop improving them, machines will get better at all jobs than us. www.forbes.com/sites/calumc...

1/6 The Economic Singularity is a term I coined to denote the moment when there are no longer any jobs for the vast majority of humans. There are five myths about it. • Automation • Aims • Awesome • Abundance • Avalanche www.forbes.com/sites/calumc...

10/10 Neil says self-sabotage holds back the creation of large tech companies in Europe and the UK. The US is less risk-averse, and devotes a much bigger share of capital to startups and scale-ups. Europe may need a crisis to rectify this. calumchace.com/podcast-feed/

4 / 4 Because he thinks our consciousness is an illusion, Keith sees little value in creating it in machines. But he does expect us to make machines one day that are complex enough to be conscious. www.prism-global.com/podcast

Next Conscious AI Meetup: Benjamin Rosman on “Acting rationally: the challenges of building intelligent agents”. Benjamin is one of the world’s leading experts in robotics and autonomous learning. Today at 5pm UK time

8 / 8 Mark argues that if it is possible to develop conscious machines, it will happen, and it is better done by genuine scientists than by others. Once it has happened, there must be regulatory frameworks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Y_...
