单集文稿 ...

  Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Joe Carl Smith,

• 00:10

  who's a senior research analyst at OpenFound Philanthropy and a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Oxford.

• 00:19

  Joe has a really interesting blog that I got to check out called Hands in Cities.

• 00:24

  And that's the reason that I wanted to have him on the podcast,

• 00:26

  because it has a bunch of thought provoking and insightful posts on there about philosophy,

• 00:31

  morality, ethics, the future.

• 00:34

  And yeah, so I really wanted to talk to you, Joe.

• 00:37

  But do you want to give a bit of a longer intro on what you're up to?

• 00:42

  Sure.

• 00:42

  So I work at open philanthropy.

• 00:45

  on existential risk from artificial intelligence.

• 00:49

  And so, you know, I think about what's going to happen with AI,

• 00:52

  how can we make sure it goes well,

• 00:53

  and in particular how can we make sure that advanced AI systems are safe.

• 00:57

  And then I have a side project,

• 01:01

  which is this blog where I write about philosophy and the future and things like that.

• 01:06

  And that emerges partly from a sort of my background,

• 01:10

  which is I was before getting into AI and working at Open Plan for B.

• 01:15

  I was in academic philosophy.

• 01:18

  Okay, that's quite an ambitious side project.
