On episode 158 of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith dives deep into the world of AI safety, governance, and open-source dilemmas with Connor Leahy, CEO of Conjecture, an AI company specializing in AI safety.
Connor, known for his pioneering work in open-source large language models, shares his views on the monopolization of AI technology and the risks of keeping such powerful technology in the hands of a few.
The episode starts with a discussion on the dangers of centralizing AI power, reflecting on OpenAI's situation and the broader implications for AI governance. Connor draws parallels with historical examples, emphasizing the need for widespread governance and responsible AI development. He highlights the importance of creating AI architectures that are understandable and controllable, discussing the challenges in ensuring AI safety in a rapidly evolving field.
We also explore the complexities of AI ethics, touching upon the necessity of policy and regulation in shaping AI's future. We discuss the potential of AI systems, the importance of public understanding and involvement in AI governance, and the role of governments in regulating AI development.
The episode concludes with a thought-provoking reflection on the future of AI and its impact on society, economy, and politics. Connor urges the need for careful consideration and action in the face of AI's unprecedented capabilities, advocating for a more cautious approach to AI development.

In this episode of the Eye on AI podcast, Terry Sejnowski, a pioneer in neural networks and computational neuroscience, joins Craig Smith to discuss the future of AI, the evolution of ChatGPT, and the challenges of understanding intelligence.
Terry, a key figure in the deep learning revolution, shares insights into how neural networks laid the foundation for modern AI, including ChatGPT’s groundbreaking generative capabilities. From its ability to mimic human-like creativity to its limitations in true understanding, we explore what makes ChatGPT remarkable and what it still lacks compared to human cognition.
We also dive into fascinating topics like the debate over AI sentience, the concept of "hallucinations" in AI models, and how language models like ChatGPT act as mirrors reflecting user input rather than possessing intrinsic intelligence. Terry explains how understanding language and meaning in AI remains one of the field’s greatest challenges.
Additionally, Terry shares his perspective on nature-inspired AI and what it will take to develop systems that go beyond prediction to exhibit true autonomy and decision-making.
Learn why AI models like ChatGPT are revolutionary yet incomplete, how generative AI might redefine creativity, and what the future holds for AI as we continue to push its boundaries.
