TAKE ACTION NOW CONTACT YOUR ELECTED LEADERS: https://www.safe.ai/actThe AI Risk Network presents Episode 1 of Am I?, a brand new AI risk podcast. Each week, we'll look into what's going on inside the AI models with cutting-edge AI safety researcher Cameron Berg and his friend philosopher/storyteller Milo Reed. We're not looking to give AI models rights, we're looking to better understand what big tech is really building, and how we need to slow our race to create better than human intelligence. If we're building a life form, we should probably understand it far better than we do. That exploration is the purpose of this podcast.Episode 1 – “The Lights Are On”Are today’s large language models just better autocomplete—or emergent minds?In this premiere of Am I?, filmmaker Milo Reid and cognitive‑scientist Cameron Berg pull back the curtain on AI consciousness, run a live “lie‑detector” test on Meta’s Llama‑3, and explain why knowing whether the lights are on inside our machines could decide humanity’s future. 🎧 What’s inside00:00  Cold‑open: the century‑old warning about waking the machine01:05  Meet Milo & Cam + the AI Risk Network02:45  Car engines vs. “grown” neural nets—why AI isn’t just software11:20  Emergent world‑models & theory‑of‑mind40:30  Live demo: flipping “deception” on/off in Llama‑350:00  Why mis‑aligning a sentient system could be catastrophic57:30  How you can shape the science🔗 Stay in the loopSubscribe to The AI Risk Network → https://youtube.com/@AIRiskNetworkFollow Cam (X/Twitter) → https://twitter.com/CamBergNewsletter + show notes → https://airisknetwork.org/newsletter💬 Join the conversationDrop your questions, skepticism, or guest suggestions below.We’ll highlight the smartest comments in next week’s show.
