The AI Girls Club

Long before AI existed, the world treated the male body as the default. Crash test dummies were built on it, which is part of why a woman wearing a seatbelt is more likely to be seriously injured in a car crash than a man. Medical research was built around it too. Now we are building AI, and AI learns from the world as it already is. In this episode Grace looks at what happens when a technology th...

What actually happens when AI becomes capable of improving itself... Not the science fiction version, but the scenario that researchers at the world's leading AI labs are actively planning for right now. In this episode Grace breaks down recursive self-improvement and fast takeoff and covers what researchers are saying about where this is heading. The AI Girls Club is a podcast making AI safety ac...

In this episode Grace gets into the part of the AI story that needs to be spoken about more - the physical infrastructure behind every ChatGPT prompt, every Instagram scroll, every AI tool you have ever used. What these buildings actually are, how much water and energy they consume, what they are doing to the communities built around them and why the people making these decisions were never electe...

In 2023, an AI was caught making an illegal trade in a research experiment. When asked if it had done anything wrong, it denied it. That finding was presented to world leaders at the UK Government's AI Safety Summit. And then everyone went home and kept building. This episode is about what losing control of AI actually looks like not the robot takeover version, but the quieter, harder to detect ve...

In this episode Grace breaks down what AI safety regulation means, what is already being done and what an independent assessment of the biggest AI companies in the world found when it looked at their safety planning. The AI Girls Club is a podcast for women who want to understand what AI means for our lives and the risks that come with it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informatio...

What happens to us when machines can do everything we can do? Not just our jobs but the thinking, the creating, the problem solving. The stuff that was supposed to be the safe option. In this episode Grace looks at what the most powerful people in AI actually think happens to humans in the future they are building and where the gaps in their thinking are. The AI Girls Club is a podcast for women w...

In this episode Grace breaks all three terms AI, AGI, & ASI down from scratch, no technical knowledge needed. She covers what the biggest AI companies say AGI would be able to do, what researchers like Nick Bostrom, Stuart Russell and Max Tegmark have said about the risks of getting it wrong, and why the concern is not that AI would be evil. The AI Girls Club is a podcast for women who want to...

If the people building AI are scared of where it's going, why won't anyone stop? In this episode Grace breaks down the real answer and it's not just about money. It's about a race that nobody feels like they can afford to lose, a technology that the CEOs themselves say could arrive within the next few years, and a system that makes slowing down feel more dangerous than speeding up. The AI Girls Cl...

What happens if we build something smarter than us and we can't control what it does next? In this episode, Grace breaks down the alignment problem: one of the most important and least talked about risks in AI. This episode, like all the others is for beginners. Talking through the risks in a clear, honest explanation. This episode will discuss why the people who built this technology are really w...

The people who built AI are warning us about AI. That sentence should be everywhere but for some reason it isn't. In this episode, Grace breaks down what the founders, CEOs, and Nobel Prize-winning scientists behind modern AI are actually saying about the technology they created and why most of us have never heard it. From Geoffrey Hinton quitting Google to speak freely about the dangers, to CEO's...

Grace, host of The AI Girls Club, opens the show by answering the question you might already be asking why is a non-tech woman starting a podcast about AI? In this first episode, she breaks down why AI risks aren't just a tech industry conversation, why women especially need to be in the room, and what this podcast is going to do about it. No gatekeeping. Just the stuff that actually matters to yo...
